NEW HAMPSHIRE TROOPS IN THE QUEBEC EXPEDITION.
NOTE BY THE EDITOR.
In August, 1775, General Washington conceived the idea of send- ing a force to attempt the capture of Quebec. Their route was to be up the Kennebec river. thence through the forests of Maine and Canada to the Chaudiere river, and thence down that stream to its junction with the St. Lawrence, about four miles above Quebec.
The detachment was composed of men enlisted for that duty from the troops in the vicinity of Boston, and was placed under the com- mand of Col. Benedict Arnold, with Lieut. Col. Roger Enos as sec- ond in command. They were relieved from duty in the several organizations to which they formerly belonged, and ordered to Cam- bridge common on the 8th and gth of September, where they were organized into two battalions of about eleven hundred men, and re- mained until the evening of the 13th, when they marched to Med- ford. They sailed from Newburyport on the 19th, and reached the Kennebec on the day following, landing about three miles below Fort Western, which was on the site of the present city of Augusta. From that place the detachment marched in four divisions, with rations for forty-five days. About the 27th of October, Lieut. Col. Enos, with three companies, became discouraged, and returned to Cambridge. The remainder of the force pushed on through a path- less forest, wading through swollen streams of ice-cold water, and almost impenetrable swamps. Their provisions were exhausted long before reaching the Canadian settlements, their clothes became so dilapidated as to furnish but little protection against the rigor of a Canadian winter, and many were barefoot for days before they reached Quebec on the 8th of November. The sufferings of this band of heroes cannot be expressed. and could have been endured only by a class of men inured to hardship and exposure, and fired with a patriotism which prompts its possessors to win the victory or perish in the attempt. In this detachment were at least eighty-eight New Hampshire men, as shown by the following rolls. New Hamp- shire had also at the same time three companies, numbering 195 men, in the service in Canada under Col. Timothy Bedel, which did good service at St. John and elsewhere; thirty-three companies, contain- ing 1,264 men, under Col. Wingate, guarding our sea-coast ; and at least three regiments, of ten companies each, in Gen. Washington's army in Massachusetts. Notwithstanding this the little state raised on short notice and sent thirty-one companies, containing 1895 men, to Massachusetts, in December, to take the place of some Connecti- cut troops who were not patriotic enough to remain in the service at that critical time, amounting in all to nearly 5,000 men in the army from this state in December, 1775.
