Landis, president of Donegal School Board, and his son ‘James have just returned from a 12 day march from Pittston, Maine, to Quebec, Canada, where they helped in the re-enactment of the Ameri- can siege of 1775 on the British stronghold of Que- bec. Dr. Landis served as a buck private in the expedi- tion taking his orders from the person playing the role of Captain Hendricks. He said that being a buck private in the Continental Army, after 20 years of medical practice, was a new experience for him. “1 learned a lot,”” he said, including a lot of history. Dr. Landis studied history en route to Quebec and is full of details about the original unsuccessful -ex- pedition lead by the later infamous Benedict Arnold. As the 700 Americans moved north rumor spread in Canada that the Ameri- cans ‘‘intended to take Quebec this time.’ As a result, lots of British were on hand to greet the Landises and their comrades with artillery and rifles when they got to Quebec. The battle was spectacu- lar. Jim, a fifer, left his father, a rifleman, in the ranks and went forward to lead the charge. After the battle, Jim went about the battlefield admin- istering last rites to the fallen Americans, including Captain Hendricks, who was “killed” according to the history script. The “‘corpse’ of Hen- dricks shook with laughter as young Jim Landis said final words over it.
