Montgomery, before departing Montreal for Quebec City, …
Years: 1775 - 1775
November
Montgomery, before departing Montreal for Quebec City, publishes messages to the inhabitants that the Congress want Quebec to join them, and enters into discussions with American sympathizers with the aim of holding a provincial convention for the purpose of electing delegates to Congress.
He also writes to General Schuyler, requesting that a Congressional delegation be sent to take up diplomatic activities.
Much of Montgomery's army had departed due to expiring enlistments after the fall of Montreal.
He now uses some of the captured boats to move towards Quebec City with about three hundred troops on November 28, leaving about two hundred in Montreal under the command of General David Wooster.
Along the way, he picks up James Livingston's newly created 1st Canadian Regiment of about two hundred men.
