Early in the Revolution, his expedition against Fort Ticonderoga joined that of Ethan Allen , and the joint command took the fort. Arnold pushed on to the northern end of Lake Champlain, where he destroyed a number of ships and a British fort. In the Quebec campaign , he invaded Canada (1775) by way of the Maine forests. After a grueling march, the exhausted force reached Quebec.
