James Wilkinson - America's Worst Traitor

Who is the worst traitor in American history? The man with the best claim to that dubious title is James Wilkinson! Join me for an epic tale of espionage, corruption, wine and woman, as Wilkinson undermines George Washington, spies for Spain, tries to assassinate the explorers Lewis and Clark, and plots to split up the United States with Aaron Burr. In between he finds the time to cause the worst peace time disaster in the history of the American army and botches an invasion of Canada. He's the founding father everyone wants to forget about.
