John Joseph Henry stated that the two guides in the Arnold Expedition were John Horn and Jeremiah Getchell. Frank Getchell (the author of this typescript) thinks that it was probably John Getchell and Jeremiah Horn. John Joseph Henry wrote "An accurate and interesting account of the hardships and sufferings of that band of heroes who traversed the wilderness in the campaign against Quebec in 1775" (written in 1812).
