Arnold Trail To Commemorate the March On Quebec
Eustis Maine March 7 The Arnold Trail will be dedicated next summer to honor the march of Benedict Arnold and colonial soldiers toward Quebec. Proponents plan a scenic motor route from Portland to Quebec with American soldiers marching to the Canadian border where Canadian forces would escort them. The route traces Revolutionary paths along the Kennebec River and Three Ponds to Dead River then up to Flagstaff where 300 men under Colonel Enos turned back. The effort notes Arnold and his 1100 volunteers from New England Kentucky and Virginia in log bateaux amid harsh conditions. the Quebec siege failed and Arnold later faced disgrace and exile, yet the trail honors the expedition.
