Firsthand account detailing the grueling 1775 military expedition through the dense Maine wilderness during the American Revolution. Led by then-Colonel Benedict Arnold, the campaign aimed to launch a surprise attack on British-controlled Quebec. Arnold vastly underestimated the distance and difficulty of the terrain, and Henry's memoir relates the starvation, freezing temperatures, and devastating sickness the men faced. Apparently they were forced to eat tree bark, candles, and boil their leather shoes to stay alive. Serves them right. Foreword by Michael Simpson.
