Cornbury: The Queens Govermor, written by William M. Hoffman (As Is, Ghosts of Versailles) and Anthony Holland in 1976 as a different kind of Bicentennial celebration, is the story of Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon—Lord Cornbury, Royal Governor of NY and NJ, 1701-1708. He is widely acknowledged to have been horribly corrupt, almost certainly the worst colonial governor in history, and quite possibly a transvestite. This is American history with a stylish twist!
