October 8-10, 2010 – Maine - To commemorate the 235th anniversary of Gen. Benedict Arnold's epic expedition to Quebec, Revolutionary War re-enactors are invited to participate in a two day, twelve mile march along a portion of the original route of Arnold’s march. The event takes place on Columbus Day weekend and follows in the footsteps of the expedition’s difficult Carry Ponds portage between the Kennebec and Dead Rivers. George Morison, a Pennsylvania rifleman and participant of the march, described the challenges of the portage in his journal. “This morning we hauled out our Batteaux from the river and carried thro’ brush and mire, over hills and swamps…to a pond which we crossed, and encamped for the night. This transportation occupied us three whole days, during which time we advanced but five miles. This was by far the most fatiguing movement that had yet befell us. The rains had rendered the earth a complete bog; insomuch that we were often half leg deep in the mud, stumbling over all fallen logs… Our encampments these two last nights were almost insupportable; for the ground was so soaked with rain that the driest situation we could find was too wet to lay upon any length of time; so that we got but little rest. Leaves to bed us could not be obtained and we amused ourselves around our fires most all the night…” Thanks to the assistance of the Arnold Expedition Historical Society (AEHS) this event, which will take place rain or shine, will be far less strenuous on the re-enactors than it was on Arnold’s men. The Carry Ponds region of Maine is very rural and isolated and the march route includes a portion of the Appalachian Trail so marchers will encounter few modern intrusions. Campsites will be established at Middle Carry Pond for Friday and Saturday evening and the AEHS will assist in transporting gear and vehicles to and from the campsite and to the end destination (near Flagstaff Lake).
