I just recently finished reading this little gem of a book. I’ve had it tucked away on my bookshelf for years. About a year ago, a TLSARL friend sent me a URL that led me to a site where I could read it online if I cared to, and his thoughtfulness reminded me that mine was buried somewhere. I dug it out, but still didn’t read it for some time.

“St. Georges day- our men fired 3 volleys in honor of the day- gave them a dram Some large openings are made in the river but the main body of ice remained yet fast.”  – Miles Macdonell’s Journal
