Clements Bookworm #81: Author Conversation with Jason Cherry "William Trent: Factor of Ambition"

Independent historian Jason A. Cherry delves into the life of William Trent, a prominent yet often overlooked figure in colonial American history, in his biography, William Trent: Factor of Ambition.

As a fur trader, military officer, and land speculator, Trent played a significant role in the economic and political dynamics of the 18th-century American frontier. Heavily researched at the Clements, this book explores his interactions with Native American communities, his involvement in key historical events like the French and Indian War and Pontiac's Rebellion, and his complex relationships with figures such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.
