Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fort Western on the Kennebec: The Story of Its Construction in 1754 and What Has Happened There Bradford relates that at first the wampum stuck and it was two years before they could put of this small quantity, till ye inland peo ple knew of it; and afterwards they could scarce ever gett enough for them, for many years together. It was this wampum that gave the Pilgrims such advantage in compet ing with the fishermen and other traders that soon they practically controlled the fur trade on the Ken nebee river. The commodities chief ly used by the Indians were trading cloth - a coarse woolen cloth bread, peas, trinkets, etc. Between 1631 and 1636 the Pilgrims shipped to England pounds of beaver and 1156 pounds of otter. The coat beaver was sold at twenty shillings per pound and it was estimated by Bradford that the shipments of beaver amounted to a value of about the otter skins paying all the charges. It was this fur trade on the Kennebec river that relieved the Pilgrims from their financial difficulties and extricated them from the clutches Of the Merchant Ad venturers of London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant American combat officer and this countrys most famous traitor, Benedict Arnold is one of the most fascinating and complicated people to emerge from American history. His contemporaries called Arnold the American Hannibal after he successfully led more than 1,000 men through the savage Maine wilderness in 1775. The objective of Arnold and his heroic corps was the fortress city of Quebec, the capital of British-held Canada. The epic campaign is the subject of Benedict Arnolds Army, a fascinating campaign to bring Canada into the war as the 14th colony. The initiative for the assault came from George Washington who learned that a fast moving detachment could surprise Quebec by following a chain of rivers and lakes through the Maine wilderness. Washington picked Col. Benedict Arnold, an obscure and controversial Connecticut officer, to command the corps who signed up for the secret mission. Arnold believed that his expedition would reach Quebec City in twenty days. The route turned out to be 270 miles of treacherous rapids, raging waterfalls, and trackless forests that took months to traverse. At times Arnolds men were up to their waists in freezing water dragging and pushing their clumsy boats through surging rapids and hauling them up and over waterfalls. In one of the greatest exploits in American military history, Arnold led his famished corps through the early winter snow, up and over the Appalachian Mountains, and on to Quebec. Benedict Arnolds Army covers a largely unknown but important period of Arnolds life. Award-winning author Arthur Lefkowitz provides important insights into Arnolds character during the earliest phase of his military career, showing his aggressive nature, need for recognition, experience as a competitive businessman, and his obsession with honor that started him down the path to treason. Lefkowitz extensively researched Arnolds expedition and made numerous trips along the same route that Arnolds army took. Benedict Arnolds Army also contains a closing chapter with detailed information and maps for readers who wish to follow the expeditions route from the coast of Maine to Quebec City. There is a growing interest in the Founding Fathers and the Revolutionary War as a source of national pride and identity and the Arnold Expedition as told through Benedict Arnolds Army is one of the greatest adventure stories in American history. Arthur S. Lefkowitz lives in central New Jersey
