General Overview

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2005

I've cited several passages in a very detailed book I'm writing on Arnold's march, but only in what Bird gets wrong concerning the maps, scouts and blame for my ancestor Reuben Colburn's boat construction techniques, but it's not as bad as some have said. Once underway Colburn' Company of carpenters is nowhere to be found, when in reality they marched and repaired the bateaux all the way to Quebec and the flat-bottomed boats carried many of the leaders all the way to the French settlements. It has more background on the surrounding campaigns on Lake Champlain and the background of Canada at the time, prior to and during the march, but the march itself is a quickie version, as is the actual battle. My book has been turned down by Oxford and many agents claiming "I didn't write it for the average reader." This one was but most of the intersesting details aren't there as they should be.
