Retreat from Canada, spring 1776
While searching for an ancestor said to have died while a prisoner in a British jail in Canada during the Revolutionary War, I became interested in the ever-changing story of the part Seth Warner played in the Americans’ retreat from Quebec. The results of my research appeared in an article in 	Vermont History, Vol. 86, No. 2, Summer/Fall 2018, https://vermonthistory.org/journal/86/VH8602SethWarner.pdf. It documents what historians in Vermont have known for over half a century: that Warner did not bring the American army back from Quebec to American soil.

I do not have the technical know-how to do more than suggest that the documents cited in that article are essential to giving an accurate account of the retreat and the Battle of Bennington.

One note: Warner’s son Israel, born in 1768, was not quite 8 when his father’s regiment retreated from Quebec. He was 9 in 1776 when his father sent him on horseback to deliver a message to the regiment to come to Bennington immediately. MLinVA (talk) 15:13, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
