Québec a Nation History (Part 17)
The Invasion of Québec in 1775 was the first major military initiative by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The objective of the campaign was to gain military control of Québec, and convince the Québecers to join the Revolution.
The Battle of Québec was an attempt on December 31, 1775, by American forces to capture the city of Québec, drive the British military from the Province of Québec, and enlist Québecers for the American Revolutionary War. Richard Montgomery and Benedict Arnold led a force of about 1,200 American army forces and Québecers militia in a multi-pronged attack on the city, which, due to bad weather and bad timing, did not start well, and ended with Montgomery dead, Arnold wounded, and Daniel Morgan and more than 400 men captured. Following a somewhat ineffectual five-month siege, the American forces were driven to retreat by the arrival of ships from England carrying British troops in early May 1776. The battle was the first military defeat for the Continental Army. American forces received supplies and logistical support from local residents, and the city's defenders included locally raised militia. Some of those that supported the American cause were subjected to a variety of punishments after the Americans retreated.

The Caren Archive -- http://thecarenarchive.com -- is the most significant private collection of rare newspapers and broadsides in the United States. The Archive contains more than 1 million original and historic newspapers, periodicals, manuscripts and photographs -- literally documenting how history unfolded on paper. If you're considering purchasing or selling items relating to major events from the 16th century through the 21st, The Caren Archive is the best place to start.
Eric C. Caren, proprietor of The Archive, began collecting baseball cards, stamps, coins and more when he was 5 years old. At age 11, he discovered some newspapers in an abandoned house and the rest is history.
After graduating from University of Maryland with a business degree, he directed a rare newspaper gallery in London at the then newly opened Covent Garden Market. Upon returning to the U.S. in 1983, Caren founded The Caren Archive and has been a full-time dealer in historical collectibles ever since. In 2001, the Newseum in Washington, DC, acquired more than 30,000 historic newspapers from The Caren Archive to build the majority of its permanent collection and feature exhibit.
To this day, Caren is still as passionate a collector as ever.
