520 1 $a"Drawing upon previously unexplored sources from Canada, Europe, and the United States, Michael P. Gabriel provides a comprehensive view of one of the forgotten heroes of the Revolutionary War, General Richard Montgomery. An Irish-born former British officer, Montgomery commanded the ill-fated American invasion of Canada in 1775 and was killed at Quebec. The first and highest-ranking American general killed in the war, Montgomery was also an important hero symbol in the early republic.
520 8 $aWriters and orators, such as Thomas Paine and Hugh Henry Brackenridge, used the slain general as a symbol of virtue and self-sacrifice to spur on the war effort and help create a national identity. This image persisted through the early nineteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
