During the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold led a force of over 1,000 men through Maine to attack the British garrison at Quebec. During the winter, without food and struggling through the hard landscape, many died. There couldn't bury them because of the frozen ground, and so they stacked the bodies near the banks of the river. In the spring, the bodies washed down river past a small Indian village. Hence the name, Dead River.
