INTERESTING BOOKS…
CANADIAN IROQUOIS AND THE SEVEN YEARS WAR The participation of the Iroquois of Akwasasne, Kanesetake (Oka), Kahnawake, and Oswegatchie in the Seven Years' War is a long-neglected topic. The consequences of this struggle still shape Canadian history. The book looks at the social and economic impact of the war on both men and women in Canadian Iroquois communities and provides an enhanced appreciation both of the role of Amerindians in the war itself and of their difficult struggle to lead their lives within the unstable geopolitical environment created by European invasion and settlement. 45 b/w illust, biblio, index. 1 vol, 248 pgs $30.00 USD
THE SELEUCID ARMY The organization and tactics in the campaigns, b/w maps, chapter notes, extensive biblio, index. 1 vol, 318 pgs, 2012 U.K., CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS $40.00 USD
BENEDICT ARNOLD'S ARMY: The 1775 American Invasion of Canada During the Revolutionary War Another excellent Lefkowitz book. The epic campaign is the subject of Benedict Arnold's 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 Arnold's 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 Arnold's Army covers a largely unknown but important period of Arnold's life. $33.00 USD
