Benedict Arnold Benedict Arnold Benedict Arnold’s Other Story The story of Benedict Arnold's heroism on behalf of America, especially on Lake Champlain, is largely unknown, and it's the story we want to tell here. We'll leave those dark facts of his later defection and traitorous ways to historians. He gets plenty of bad press there...and deserves it too. As the American Revolution began, Arnold volunteered to lead 1000 men up through the woods of Maine to attack British Canada by surprise, through its back door, at Quebec City (Brody, pg. 126). This journey, which is still talked about in that part of the country, proved to be a disaster for the volunteers who marched off. Half starved, frozen, and making broth by boiling their own shoe leather and cartridge boxes, they stumbled out of the wilds 50 days later...with 40% of them dead (Brody, pg. 126-127). Many believed they would have all perished were it not for Arnold's courage and leadership in those woods. Valiant battles against overwhelming odds lay ahead through the winter in Canada, but the expedition failed. In June of 1776, Arnold, badly wounded he, led his ravaged men away from Montreal toward the North end of Lake Champlain (Randall, “Lake Champlain”). arnold, benedict, lake, british, randall, champlain, pg, fleet, carleton, back, war, american, winter, ships, out, brody, boats, began, americans, safety, one, off, navy, half, england, canada, arnold's, army, 1776, wounded, two, through, soon, pulled, over, new, near, montreal, men, indians, hudson, having, fighting, english, delay, dark, congress, behind, battle, badly Word Count: 1527 Acceptance_Essays American_History Anatomy_&_Physiology Animal_Science_&_Zoology Anthropology Architecture Art Astronomy Aviation Biographies Book_Reports Business Computers Creative_Writing Current_Events Economics Education Engineering English Environmental_Science Ethics European_History Film_&_TV Foreign_Languages Geography Government_&_Politics Health_&_Beauty History_Other Human_Sexuality Legal_Issues Marketing Mathematics Medicine Miscellaneous Music Mythology Philosophy Physics Poetry Political_Science Psychology Religion Science Shakespeare Social_Issues Sociology Speech Sports_&_Recreation Supernatural Technology Theater Theses_&_Dissertations
