Produktinformationen zu „Benedict Arnold's Army (ePub)“
This "brilliant" account of Benedict Arnold's military campaign to bring Canada into the Revolutionary War is "hard to put down"-includes maps (Mag Web).
In 1775, Benedict Arnold led more than one thousand men through the Maine wilderness in order to reach Quebec, the capital of British-held Canada. His goal was to reach the fortress city and bring Canada into the Revolutionary War as the fourteenth colony. When George Washington learned of a route to Quebec that followed a chain of rivers and lakes through the Maine wilderness, he picked Col. Benedict Arnold to command the surprise assault. The route to Canada was 270 miles of rapids, waterfalls, and dense forests that took months to traverse. Arnold led his famished corps through early winter snow and waist-high freezing water, up and over the Appalachian Mountains, and finally, to Quebec.
In Benedict Arnold's Army, award-winning author Arthur S. Lefkowitz traces the troops' grueling journey, examining Arnold's character at the time and how this campaign influenced him later in the Revolutionary War. After multiple trips to the route Arnold's army took, Lefkowitz also includes detailed information and maps for readers to follow the expedition's route from the coast of Main to Quebec City.

Pressezitat
“In short, Benedict Arnold’s Army is brilliant. The prose sparkles, the research shines, and the historical fog enveloping this obscure expedition lifts to reveal the military gamble across a barely-charted wilderness . . . Hard to put down.” —Mag Web“Highly recommended to American History shelves and anyone who would want to learn more about this enigmatic figure of American History.” —Midwest Book Review
“An excellent campaign history that is difficult to put down . . . A fine narrative that is certain to find a wide audience among scholars of the War of Independence and more popular audiences as well.” —On Point: The Journal of Army History
