Arnold, nonetheless, on learning this news, at once ordered his men to seek and roust Natanis, whom he referred to as a "noted Villain" and branded as a spy.

The Quebec invasion was actually an expedition and then a battle, and while Desjardin's handling of the battle is well written, his account of the expedition is sometimes dull and tedious and tends to bog down like the quagmire that he is describing.
Arnold's little army was nowhere near large enough to take the walled fortress town, but the intrepid Arnold elected to assault it anyway once he received reinforcements from Montgomery's army in Montreal.
Ultimately, Arnold felt that he had been unfairly treated and that the time was not right to break with the Crown, and he has been cast as one of the great villains of American history as a consequence.
