Society of Colonial Wars in the State of New York (1999)
“The infamous Lord Cornbury, New York’s governor in the early eighteenth century—corrupt, bigoted, and a defiant transvestite. Or was he? In this remarkable whodunit, Patricia Bonomi traces Cornbury’s career through a dense jungle of Anglo-American politics to uncover a world ‘steamy with intrigue, gossip, and rumor-mongering—a world of vicious scurrility in which gossip, calumny, prurient satire, and a muckraking press were active instruments of partisan conflict.’”
