Men of New York! You will
not fear to follow where your
general leads!" exclaimed Mont
gomery as he led them toward
the second barricade in the mar
row street. Suddenly the port
holes in the blockhouse guarding
the second barricade were
thrown open and a storm of ar
tillery and musketry fire swept
the close-packed ranks of the
Americans. Montgomery, two of
his aides and ten soldiers went
down under the whitening fire.
Burr, who had been transferred
from Arnold's division to Mont
gomery's, tried in vain to rally
the men. But the blast of fire
which had killed their leader
broke their spirit and they re-
treated without even trying to re-
cover the body of their command
er. If he had survived he might
have carried them through to
victory. But without his inspir-
ing presence that hope was vain.
Meanwhile the British, hearing of
the repulse to Montgomery's at
tack, concentrated their atten-
ton on the column led by Ar
mold and Morgan, trapped it in
the narrow streets, captured 400
men and drove the remainder out
of the city.
Several hours after the repulse
of Montgomery's column, a cap
tured American officer was taken
to the barricade where the 13
frozen bodies of his comrades
were lying half covered with
drifting snow He identified that
of Montgomery and Carleton,
who had known the American
leader when he was a British
captain, ordered that he be CIV
en- military funeral. This was
done on January 4, 1776, and he
was buried at the Gorge of st.
Louis bastion with the governor,
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, the council
of Quebec and all the principal
officers of the garrison in attend
ance.
For AZ years Montgomery's
body remained in its original
burying place. In 1918 it was
removed to the city of New York
where it was buried beneath the
monument erected to his MEM
ory in front of st. Paul's church.
Although this monument is not
such a well known patriotic
shrine as others in that metropo-
lis, the fame of Richard Mont
gomery is perpetuated in the
names of no less than 18 counties
in as many states of the Union
number exceeded by only a
few other Revolutionary heroes.
Perhaps it is idle to speculate
on "what might have been" but
there is good reason to believe
that the death of Montgomery on
that December morning 161
years ago was a more impor-
tant event in our history than it
is usually credited with being.
If he had not been killed but had
led his men to the victory, which
is not improbable, the capture of
Quebec would have brought Can
ada under the domination of the
Patriot cause early in the Revo-
lutionary struggle. If that had
come about, the long weary
struggle of seven years might
have been considerably short
ened; Benedict Arnold, sharing
with Montgomery the laurels of
the capture of Quebec would have
been spared the bitterness of be-
ing denied the laurels he won at
Saratoga, would not have fallen
a victim to his disappointment
and disillusionment and become
a traitor, and his name and that
of Richard Montgomery might
have been written higher on the
scroll of the heroes of '76.

Meanwhile Benedict Arnold
had made the epic journey with
his Continentals and Gen. Daniel
Morgan's riflemen through the
woods of Maine and were now be-
fore Quebec. With winter COM
ing on Montgomery would not
have attempted to capture Que
bee. But Arnold's arrival forced
his hand. Unless he went to the
aid of that leader, the sacrifices
of Arnold's and Morgan's men
would have been in vain.
Montgomery's force was small.
Regiments had melted away as
men, homesick or dispirited by
the hardships they had under
gone, deserted his command. He
had little confidence in those who
remained in the ranks. But de-
spite his forebodings of disas-
ter, he joined Arnold at Pointe
aux Tremble, up the river from
Quebec.
