Stephen Darley was born in northern Utah and attended Utah State University. He graduated from George Washington University School of Law in 1967 and then served two years in the U.S. Army.

Darley was owner of a real estate development and consturction company in the New Haven, Connecticut area for almost forty years and he retired in 2009. He lives in North Haven, CT with his wife Peggy and is a mrember of the New Haven Museum, North Haven Historical Society and the Connecticut Society of Genealogists.

Steve has a forty year interest in the history of the American Revolution and in Benedict Arnold. He has done extensive research on Arnold and was moderator of the Benedict Arnold egroup from 2000 to 2008. Darley has written a number of articles on the Revolutionary War and Benedict Arnold for a variety of historical and genealogical magazines. He also has an interest in the history of the far west and has written articles on that historical era as well.

Mr. Darley's first book, a bio-bibliography of Rafael Sabatini, was published by Oak Knoll Press in 2010, which he co-authored with Jesse Knight.His first book on the Revolutionary War is Book One in a four part series on the Northern Revolutionary Army from 1775 to 1777. The first book in that series was "Voices from a Wilderness Expedition: THe Journals and Men of Benedict Arnold's Expedition to Quebec in 1775." The book presents a complete bibliography of all thirty extant journals regarding the Quebec expedition, including five journals never published before. Included in the book is a comprehensive roster containing the names of 1125 officers and men who were on the expedition with Arnold.

His second book in the series on the Northern Army, is "The Battle of Valcour Island: The Participants and Vessels of Benedict Arnold's 1776 Defense of Lake Champlain." This book identifies for the first time the names of 16 of the 17 captains of the vessels who served under Benedict Arnold in October of 1776. A short bio of each captain is included. The book also has a roster of 448 officers and men who participated in the Valcour battle with sources listed. This should be of interest to those seeking information on ancestors who served on Lake Champlain in 1776. This book was positively reviewed in Vermont History journal in 2014.

Excellent Read

I enjoyed his other book Voices from a Wilderness Expedition, so much that when I found this one, I had to have it. This author was recommended for his superb research in details, that I have come to trust his work. I was wondering about this battle as I know that my ancestor had been at Ticonderoga, had escaped with his troop from there to Valcour Island and then moved on to Stillwater, NY There was also 2 other men, brothers, one was captured on the island and the other was on the Spitfire.

A great reference book

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2014

Not so much about the battle itself. There is a chapter that discusses the battle in abbreviated form. Most of the book is a listing of the ships and the men who took part in the battle. In this regard it is very well researched and provides information not previously known. A great reference book.
