An interesting journal of Abner Stocking of Chatham, Connecticut / detailing the distressing events of the expedition against Quebec, under the command of Col. Arnold in the year 1775

A firsthand soldier's journal recounts a 1775 military expedition from New England toward Quebec, recording daily marches, embarkation and river travel, navigational hazards and separation in fog, transfer to bateaux at Fort Western, and the difficult overland passage through wilderness. Entries combine logistical detail — routes, encampments, weather — and personal observation of morale, discipline, fear, and sorrow, including a sudden violent death and its effect on comrades. The narrative emphasizes physical hardship, small incidents that reveal character, and the uncertain resolve of men undertaking a perilous, improvised campaign.
