On this day in 1775,
Recently promoted Col. Benedict Arnold, back in Cambridge after his spring campaign with Ethan Allen in New York, begins his march northward, through Maine country, toward Quebec as the second of two pincers (the other being Montgomery's on Lake Champlain).
Arnold's plan is ill-conceived and his forces suffer starvation and harsh elements during their 350 mile march.
