Title: The Original Authority
Review: Set aside the above reviewer's comparison to current Iraqi "insurgeants," which I consider fallacious, Christopher Ward handles Benedict Arnold's March to Quebec deftly and dead on accurate. I can believe the rest is as well, based on my knowledge of this episode because his handling of my ancestor Rueben Colburn, the Maine boatbuilder and patriot who set up the expedition is as good as my own, even if less detailed, albeit justifiable given the scope of his project.This volume is for sale at Barnes & Noble, but the notes aren't available for the chapters up to #38. He cites the "lack of dried wood" as the inevitiable cause of the failure of many of the bateaux, and unavioidable for Colburn. This is the earliest reference to this aspect I've found since 1902 when Justin Smith wrote of it.
