Review # 1 was written on 2015-03-16 00:00:00 BRIAN WINCHELL I met the author of this book a few years ago @ a lecture he gave in Hackensack, NJ. He was a very nice gentleman and very passionate about Arnold. He also was the person who told me about Fraunces Tavern, in NYC which I got to visit and eat diner at this past summer. The book delves deeply into an epic even that too often is skipped over or mentioned in passing, but if undertaken today would be seen as inhumane to animals let alone humans. While I can not defend his actions, it was this book that allowed me to at least extend a feeling of some sympathy towards Benedict for his tortured feelings towards his country of origin.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-22 00:00:00 Justin Marshall Benedict Arnold = traitor. We all know this. This book details "before", when he was a courageous and valiant patriot, the leader of the Arnold Expedition, the ill-fated attempt to capture Quebec in late 1775. This well-written, sympathetic book describes the harrowing trek of the group of hand picked volunteers who walked from Maine to Canada and then their ultimately unsuccessful attack on the well/defended city of Quebec. Daniel Morgan and Aaron Burr also have featured roles in this.
