History of Canada narrative on Col. Allen capture and Montreal action
The piece recounts Col. Ethan Allen and Major Brown’s Montreal expedition during the St. Lawrence siege, detailing Allen’s crossing at Longueuil with about 110 men, the failed cross and defense near Montreal, the brutal assault by Canadian and Native fighters, surrender under honorable terms, and the subsequent harsh imprisonment and voyage to England aboard the Gaspe and Adamant ships with irons and mistreatment by British and Tory officers.
