Ron Chernow Quote
Since both Eliza and Angelica were pregnant, sister Peggy crept downstairs to retrieve the endangered child. The leader of the raiding party barred her way with a musket. Wench, wench! Where is your master? he demanded. Gone to alarm the town, the coolheaded Peggy said.24 The intruder, fearing that Schuyler would return with troops, fled in alarm.
