KENNETH ROBERTS - ARUNDEL - EXPEDITION AGAINST QUEBEC -1946 ED NOVEL HARDBACK

A Chronicle of the Province of Maine and of the Secret Expedition Against Quebec (1930/1995), about Arnold's expedition, Kenith Roberts work is the history of America in fictional settings, but it is authentic history, more accurate and reflective of the reality of this nation than most non-fiction works on the subject. Most of the people he writes about in Arundel really existed; and some were portraits of his Maine ancestors, whose stories he tells as exemplars of the people who founded this nation. In addition to being historically accurate to the most minute detail, his writing is poetic and moving. . "Arundel" was his first novel, and after 65 years it still shines like a beacon to those who want the truth about the American Revolution, what it meant, and why it was fought.
