In late 1775, a few months after the first shots of the Revolution
were fired, Benedict Arnold led over 1,000 troops into Quebec to
attack the British there. Departing from Massachusetts, by the time
they reached Pittston, Maine, they were in desperate need of
supplies and equipment to carry them the rest of the way. Many
patriotic Mainers contributed, including Major Reuben Colburn, who
constructed a flotilla of bateaux for the weary troops. Despite his
service in the Continental Army, many blamed Colburn when several
of the vessels did not withstand the harsh journey. In this
narrative, the roles played by Colburn and his fellow Mainers in
Arnold's march are re-examined and revealed.
