Arundel

''Arundel'' by Kenneth Roberts was first published in 1930 by Doubleday, now public domain. The novel's first-person narrator Steven Nason and his family are traders and proprietors of an inn serving the little town of Arundel, now known as Kennebunkport. Steven has become an accomplished backwoodsman by the time he reaches adulthood, knowledge he gained by accompanying his father on trading trips among the Indians. Steven joins Colonel Benedict Arnold's small expeditionary force in the fall of 1775 to help guide him through the northern wilderness to attack British-held Quebec. This story follows Steven Nason as he joins Benedict Arnold in his march to Quebec during the American Revolution. It is one of the most thrilling of all novels of America's past. Proving for all time the inspired and loyal leadership of Benedict Arnold, Arundel is a masterpiece of story-telling and of the re-creation of history; an unforgettable experience in literature.
