The conduct of Enos in deserting Arnold has been extenuated in General Roger Enos—a lost Chapter of Arnold's Expedition to Canada, 1775, by Horace Edwin Hayden (1885), reprinted from Mag. of Amer. Hist. (May, 1885). The papers of the court-martial which acquitted Enos are in the State Department at Washington, and have been printed by Force and Allen, and also in Henry's Journal (ed. of 1877), p. 59.
[642] Described by G. T. Packard in the N. Y. Independent, 1881. Cf. Good Literature, 1881, p. 239.
[643] Dawson (i. 118) also gives his Quebec despatch of Dec. 31, 1775. Sparks preserved copies of various of Arnold's letters in the Sparks MSS. (lii. vol. ii.); and in Ibid. (no. lvii. 10) are letters of Arnold on his early trading visits to Quebec, when he acquired a knowledge of the region.

To which is added an account of the Attack and Engagement at Quebec, the 31st of Dec., 1775 (Glasgow, 1775, pp. 36). It is, says Sabin (ix. no. 36,728), the journal of a company of riflemen under Captains William Hendricks and John Chambers, and it was sent from Quebec to Glasgow by a gentleman who appended the "account."
Henry Dearborn's is in the Boston Public Library, and is called Journal of the proceedings, and particular occurrences, which happened, within my knowledge, to the troops under the command of Benedict Arnold, in 1775, which troops were detached from the American army lying before Boston for the purpose of marching to, and taking possession of Quebec. [From Sept. 10th, 1775, to July 16th, 1776.] It has been printed by Mellen Chamberlain in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., April, 1886, and separately.

John Joseph Henry's Accurate and interesting account of the hardships and sufferings of that band of heroes, who traversed the wilderness in the Campaign against Quebec in 1775 (Lancaster, Pa., 1812). Campaign against Quebec, being an accurate, etc. (Watertown, N. Y., 1844). Account of Arnold's Campaign against Quebec, and of the hardships, etc. (Albany, 1877). This last edition has a memoir of Judge Henry by his grandson, Aubrey H. Smith. (Cf. Brinley, ii. no. 4,026; Murphy, no. 1,192.) Mr. Smith says that the Account was dictated by Henry to his daughter in his latest years, with the aid of casual notes and memoranda, and was published without any revision and proper press-reading. (Cf. Sabin, viii. 31,400-1.)
Lieut. William Heth's journal is referred to in Marshall's Washington, i. pp. 53, 57, and is still preserved in Richmond, Va.
