This review is from: March to Quebec (Paperback)
I got this book through Amazon's out-of-print book service after reading Kenneth Roberts books Arundel and Rabble in Arms. March to Quebec is history as a primary source, and it is amazing. The volume consists of the journals of then Colonel Benedict Arnold and several of the patriots who accompanied him on his ill-fated march through the Wilderness of Maine during a sneak attack on quebec. The idea, which Arnold and his mentor General Washington cooked up, was to take Quebec and add it as a 14 colony/state. There was much adventure and intrigue. Some famous names invloved on the March are Nathaniel Green, Daniel Morgan, Dearborn, and even a young Aaron Burr. These journals leap off the page and are probably the best journals available outside those of a genration later, Lewis & Clark. Highly recommended.
