Where Richard Montgomery fell, Quebec
A sign showing the location where Richard Montgomery, a brigadier-general in the Continental Army (during the American Revolutionary War) fell whilst leading the failed 1775 invasion of Canada. The invasion was the first major military initiative by the newly-formed Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The objective of the campaign was to gain military control of the British Province of Quebec, and convince the French-speaking Canadians to join the revolution on the side of the Thirteen Colonies. General Guy Carleton opposed Montgomery at Quebec and his success is marked by the lower sign. Date: circa 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
Where Richard Montgomery Fell: A Historic Marker Commemorating the Failed 1775 Invasion of Quebec This evocative photograph captures the enduring history of the Battle of Quebec, an essential moment in the American Revolutionary War. The image depicts a signpost located in Quebec, Canada, marking the spot where Brigadier-General Richard Montgomery fell during the failed 1775 invasion of Quebec. Montgomery, a key figure in the Continental Army, led this campaign with the objective of gaining military control of the British Province of Quebec and persuading French-speaking Canadians to join the revolution on the side of the Thirteen Colonies. General Guy Carleton, a British military commander, opposed Montgomery at Quebec, and his success is commemorated by the lower sign in the photograph. The Battle of Quebec proved to be a turning point in the war, as the American forces suffered significant losses, and the Canadians remained loyal to the British crown. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, transports us back in time to an era of pivotal historical significance. The horse-drawn cart, the horse, and the rugged terrain all contribute to the authentic feel of the scene. This image offers a poignant reminder of the rich history of military defence in both America and Canada and the complexities of the relationships between various European and colonial powers during the revolutionary period.
