Description

While most biographies of Arnold pay attention to his revolutionary exploits and subsequent treason, Wilson explores his role in Canadian history and the routes that brought him to Canada. He is taking the reader into rural Quebec within the 1760s and 1770s when Arnold toured the area as a Yankee trader and goes at the back of the scenes in 1775-76 when Arnold’s American forces almost captured Quebec after a fantastic trek throughout the Maine wilderness. Wilson explores Arnold’s business exploits in Saint John, New Brunswick, the emerging Loyalist port town where for six years Arnold commanded an international trading network before returning to England. Written for the ones focused on unexpected tales from Canada’s colourful history, Benedict Arnold follows Arnold’s life from the battlefields of New England to the siege of Quebec, from the high seas to the day by day details of running a trading company in Saint John. Wilson offers a detailed, occasionally sympathetic, portrait of this controversial and complex man.
