"An Interesting Journal of Abner Stocking of Chatham, Connecticut" by Abner Stocking is a historical account written in the early 19th century, specifically in 1810, detailing the experiences of Stocking during an expedition against Quebec under the command of Colonel Arnold in 1775. The journal serves as a personal narrative and a firsthand record of the struggles and hardships faced by American soldiers in their quest for independence during the Revolutionary War. Throughout the journal, Abner Stocking recounts the arduous journey undertaken by his regiment as they navigate treacherous terrain, face inclement weather, and contend with dwindling supplies. The narrative details key moments such as the initial departure from Cambridge, the difficulties encountered during the march through the wilderness, encounters with both friendly and unfriendly inhabitants, and the eventual siege of Quebec. Stocking's reflections on the brutality of war, the camaraderie among soldiers, and moments of personal introspection provide readers with a vivid portrayal of both the physical and emotional toll of the campaign, culminating in his eventual return home and expressions of gratitude for his survival.
