FROM THE PUBLISHER

Of the twenty-nine major generals who served in the American Revolution, all but six have been the subjects of full-length biographies. General Richard Montgomery--who captured St. John and Montreal in the same fortnight in 1775; who, upon his death during the storming of Quebec, was eulogized in British Parliament by Burke, Fox, and Barre; and after whom sixteen American counties have been named--has, to date, been one of the neglected half-dozen.
