Quebec Defences Grow as Arnold Force Reaches Point Levi
The Arnold expedition presses toward Quebec with 800 troops reduced to 500 after provisions ran low. They reach Point Levi and are welcomed by Canadians who supply provisions. Quebec’s governors move to defend the town as 300 garrison troops clash with Arnold’s men on the riverbank. Montreal capitulates, leaving Quebec vulnerable with Carleton’s forces and muttered anxieties about supplies, morale, and ongoing plans for Montgomery’s arrival.
