On June 8th, 1776, Canadian Governor Sir Guy Carleton defeated American Patriot forces under John Sullivan. After taking heavy losses and the loss of General Richard Montgomery at Quebec, the Patriots were pursued by Governor Carleton. Halfway between Quebec and Montreal, at the Trois-Rivieres, the Patriots turned to fight. The Redcoats and German mercenaries killed 25, wounded 140, and captured 236, but Carleton allowed the rest of the 2,500-man force to complete their retreat. This battle changed the priorities of the Patriots, and Arnold wrote “let us quit and secure our own country before it is too late.”

Michael Z. Williamson (SurvivalBlog’s Editor At Large) has had his latest science fiction novel released by Baen Books. This one is titled A Long Time Until Now. It is a time travel tale, with an interesting twist. SurvivalBlog readers should find it of particular interest, because the protagonists are thrust into an extremely austere environment with NO infrastructure, so they need to almost entirely improvise their sustenance and defenses. So this is both an exciting read, and it’s educational. Great reading! – JWR o o o The World’s Unraveling: Are You Ready? Don’t forget Safecastle’s Mountain House Food Sale with …
