Miss Bailey incorrectly states that Benedict Arnold was wounded at the Battle of Saratoga. In reality, there was no single Battle of Saratoga. There were two battles: Freeman's Farm and Bemis Heights. Benedict Arnold was wounded at the battle of Bemis Heights on October 7, 1777. She also fails to mention that Arnold was also wounded at the Siege of Quebec two years earlier - in the same leg.
At one point, while Peter is studying for the part of George Washington, he says, "Tonight, we will cross the Delaware and attack the British at Trenton." There were, in fact, no British troops stationed in Trenton at that time. On Christmas Night, 1776, Trenton was garrisoned by 900 Hessian troops under the command of Colonel Johann Rall.
