At 10 a. m. on Sunday they (Col. Arnold and Capt. Eleazer Oswald) passed the seven and fifteen mile streams, and reached the little settlement of Canaan in time to dine at Joseph Weston's, whose house was beside the river.
Would we not like to know what kind of a Sunday dinner Eunice Farnsworth Weston cooked and served for Benedict Arnold in her log cabin beside the Kennebec? Was there dried moose meat, or a fat beaver tail, or salmon from the river, or partridges shot by the boys along the trail? Did they have hominy made of home raised and home ground corn, or beans baked in the ashes? Whatever was upon the board it must have tasted good to the hungry voyagers who were not for many a long day to sit again for a Sunday dinner at a woman's table.
