Western Waters
For almost 50 years, General James Wilkinson, as greedy, duplicitous, and dishonest as he was charming, talented, and charismatic, interacted with the key people and events of early American history – presidents, generals, patriots, traitors, and explorers (including Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Madison, Burr, Benedict Arnold, and Meriwether Lewis) over the course of three wars. He unabashedly embezzled funds, pursued military glory, and conspired to seize a vast part of the U.S. territory while acting as Commander of the U.S. Army. All this led to trials, court martials, madness, and finally death in a Mexican opium den. This screenplay was a Quarter Finalist in the Writer’s Network Screenplay Competition and in the Top Ten Percent in the BlueCat Screenplay Competition.
