Account Of Arnold’S Campaign Against Quebec

Snow, hunger and exhaustion stalked them long before enemy fire. The cold bit into bone. In this stark American Revolution soldier memoir, John Joseph Henry, a rank-and-file volunteer, recounts Arnold’s Quebec campaign from the inside: the audacious march from Cambridge through the trackless forests of Maine to the St Lawrence, the grinding wilderness march hardships, and the desperate assault on a walled city in 1775. Clear, restrained and unsentimental, his firsthand soldier narrative captures comradeship, fear, endurance and faith in the Continental Army Canada campaign, giving shape and voice to one of the most punishing expeditions of the age.More than a chronicle, this classic military history edition stands as a primary source for historians and a vivid read for Revolutionary War buffs and lovers of narrative non-fiction. Henry’s perspective on the Benedict Arnold Quebec expedition, Arnold’s Quebec campaign memoir in all but name and written years after the fact yet grounded in experience, enriches any Revolutionary War memoir collection and deepens understanding of the 1775 Quebec campaign as seen from the ranks rather than the council tent. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. Republished in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while remaining effortless to read, inviting both casual readers and serious students of early American arms to follow the road from Maine to St Lawrence once more.
