Item 8949 info
Maine Historical Society
Benedict Arnold copied this letter that he wrote from the 'Third Carrying Place" on Oct. 27, 1775 during his march to Quebec.
He decided to abandon the river route and have his soldiers march along roads or paths instead, sure that it would be easier than dealing with the heavy boats and the many "carrying places."
