I do not have the time to give this truly great story of Benedict Arnold its due...but of all early American history Mr Lefkowitz has out done himself here. I think anyone who cannot (as I) get enough of the Founding Fathers and early American history...to me perhaps the most rewarding history I have read is the founding of America before & after the 1776 revolution.
For me to see this book again, I must re-read it...just the one part that comes so forcefully to mind right this moment, when Washington sends his men up to Canada & if successful the war is no doubt over before it ever gets started. They fail in that battle in '75 but not because they did not give it all they had. I often think if they had taken more men and supplies they would have taken the British fort up there...surely with the loss they learned much about being better prepared, ie, prepare for the worst always...no roads then, ran out of food and little wildlife, awful circumstances and awful terrain, etc.
It is one marvelous story to read...it is so well written it reminds me of David Hackett Fischers "Washingtons crossing," another book of Washington crossing the Deleware in dead of winter and like Lefkowitz' book, kept me reading late into the night. Read this small but powerful book!

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.

Since learning about my ancestor's diary chronicling the March through the Wilderness and Battle of Quebec, I've been reading about this event and the time period. The best account I've read is Benedict Arnold's Army: The 1775 American Invasion of Canada During the Revolutionary War by Arthur S. Lefkowitz. Detailed and well-documented, Lefkowitz provides fascinating insights into the time period, key people, and events.
It was exciting to read Lefkowitz's account side by side with William Preston's diary. At times, Lefkowitz filled in the gaps of the diary. For instance the diary simply stated "Nov 9. Took a prisoner here". On page 194, Lefkowitz identified this person as Capt. MacKenzie. In other places, my diary contained more detail about specific events such as the description of the number of people diagnosed with small pox.
I highly recommend this book Benedict Arnold's Army for anyone interested in the American Revolution.

Thoroughly Informative Little Known Piece of Our History

Arthur S. Lefkowitz has written a thoroughly informative and detailed history about a little known part of our war for independence.
The research is exhaustive and the story that is told covers all aspects of the Arnold expedition to capture Canada.
As a student of this period of our nation's history I found the details fascinating but the story might be too detailed for someone not as involved with this period as I was.
