Description
Benedict Arnold's March to Quebec, 1775 is a gripping account of one of the most pivotal moments in American history. In September 1775, a group of eleven hundred soldiers embarked on a perilous journey to seize British Quebec, under the command of the enigmatic Benedict Arnold. The mission was fraught with danger, from the harsh Canadian wilderness to the fury of a hurricane that destroyed canoes and equipment. Despite these challenges, the remaining troops pressed on, attacking Quebec in a blizzard and almost taking Canada from the British. This is a story of heroic acts, men pitted against nature's fury, and a fledgling nation's fight for freedom. Thomas A. Desjardin brings this epic adventure to life with his meticulous research and engaging narrative style, making Through a Howling Wilderness a compelling read for anyone interested in military history or the early days of the American Revolution.
