In this episode, we discuss Benedict Arnold's harrowing march through the wilderness of Maine to Quebec, and the incredible hardships that earned Arnold the nickname of "The Hannibal of North America".  We also discuss the Battle of Quebec and the disappointing result for American forces.  In addition, we will discuss Benjamin Franklin's visit to the Champlain Valley.  Plus, we will discuss the horrific 10 days of misery the Americans faced at Ile aux Noix, a small island in Canada on the Richelieu River just 12 miles north of the border from New York and Vermont, and why it was a "living hell" of sorrow and suffering.Support the show
