By Cathy Pearl

¹     The Revolutionary War had started. The Americans would need smart people to help them win. One man who tried to help was Benedict Arnold. People thought that he wanted the Americans to win. Arnold was really a traitor. He secretly tried to help the British win the war.

They had to eat bark and shoe leather. Finally, Arnold got to Quebec. He battled against British soldiers. He was wounded in the battle. His army lost and they had to leave Canada.
