This book presents a riveting narrative of the harrowing expedition undertaken by Colonel Arnold and his men in 1775, as they braved treacherous wilderness and extreme conditions in an audacious attempt to capture Quebec from British forces. At the heart of this adventure lies the journal of Abner Stocking, a soldier who meticulously recorded the trials and tribulations faced by the expeditionary force.
