General Richard Montgomery and the American Revolution: From Redcoat to Rebel (The American Social Experience, 4) - Softcover
At 3 a.m. on December 31, 1775, a band of desperate men stumbled through a raging Canadian blizzard toward Quebec. The doggedness of this ragtag militia—consisting largely of men whose short-term enlistments were to expire within the next 24 hours—was due to the exhortations of their leader. Arriving at Quebec before dawn, the troop stormed two unmanned barriers, only to be met by a British ambush at the third. Amid a withering hale of cannon grapeshot, the patriot leader, at the forefront of the assault, crumpled to the ground. General Richard Montgomery was dead at the age of 37.
Montgomery—who captured St. John and Montreal in the same fortnight in 1775; who, upon his death, was eulogized in British Parliament by Burke, Chatham, and Barr; and after whom 16 American counties have been named—has, to date, been a neglected hero. Written in engaging, accessible prose, General Richard Montgomery and the American Revolution chronicles Montgomery's life and military career, definitively correcting this historical oversight once and for all.

From the Back Cover:
Of the twenty-nine major generals who served in the American Revolution, all but six have been the subjects of full-length biographies. General Richard Montgomery--who captured St. John and Montreal in the same fortnight in 1775; who, upon his death during the storming of Quebec, was eulogized in British Parliament by Burke, Fox, and Barre; and after whom sixteen American counties have been named--has, to date, been one of the neglected half-dozen.
About the Author:
Hal T. Shelton, a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the U.S. Army, currently teaches history at San Jacinto College.
