A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Captain SIMEON THAYEB makes no pretension to literary merit. It was written, doubtless, to keep fresh in the memory of the author the facts of his personal experience during his march through the wilderness to Quebec, as well as of his confinement while prisoner of war, without expectation of its ever appearing in print. It is here reproduced as it stands in the original, without any change of capital letters or of orthography, and with only such added punctuation as was thought necessary to render clear the meaning of the text. For this reason a number of words will be found incorrectly spelled. The I ntroduction, Notes and A ppendix, are the results of extensive research. The first is prefixed, and the latter are added, to give completeness to the story of one of the most daring and important military enterprises of the Revolutionary War. AB ibliography of the Journals published on the subject, so far as is known, and also a list of works which treat more or less fully upon the Invasion of Canada, is herewith annexed the first that has ever been attempted for the convenience of students of this portion of American history. Possibly some Journals of Arnold s Expedition have been published that have escaped attention, and it is by no means certain that the list of reference works is complete. Additions under either of these heads are earnestly solicited, and will be gratefully acknowledged. For facts and documents communicated to the editor of the Journal, special thanks are tendered to Samuel G. Drake, Esq., of Boston ;R ev. Richard Eddy, Librarian Pennsylvania Histoi ical Society; Hon. M. H. Taggart, State Treasurer, Pennsylvania; Henry T. Browne, Esq., New York; George H. Moore, Esq., Librarian New York Historical Society; Richard R. Ward, Esq., Brooklyn, N. Y. ;C harles J. Hoadly, Esq., Secretary Connecticut Historical Society; John G. Metcalf, M. D., Me
