Lumber Camp Story plus American Revolution in Canada

This week, Kate has an amusing anecdote about life in the early lumber camps and what happens when the log drivers finally hit town after having been in isolation for a long winter and early spring. Plus, Paul has the story of American efforts and propoganda designed to tempt Canadians to join their revolution against Britain and to, in effect, become the fourteenth colony in their new union. The efforts also included the first military campaign authorized by Congress in the war - an invasion of Canada by two armies (one led by Benedict Arnold).
