[The following account of the assault on Quebec by the American army under Montgomery and Arnold, on the morning of the last day of the year 1775, is taken from a scarce work in the Library of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, entitled: "An interesting | Journal of occurrences during the | expedition to Quebec | conducted by the celebrated Arnold at the commencement | of the American Revolution, | giving a particular account of the unparalleled | sufferings sustained by that detachment in passing through the Wilderness, | together with a description of the | Battle of Quebec, | kept by George Morison, a volunteer in the company of Riflemen commanded by | Capt. Hendricks who was slain | at the attack upon Quebec." Printed at Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1803. George Morison was a resident of Shearman's Valley, in Cumberland County, when he enlisted as a private in Captain William Hendricks's company of riflemen, attached to Colonel William Thompson's battalion. After he was exchanged, he re-entered the army, and while acting in the capacity of a quartermaster, one day, had a dispute with a colonel of the Maryland line. The colonel drew his sword upon him, when Morison jumped behind a hogshead and seized a spade, with which he broke his assailant's sword-arm. A court-martial sentenced him to receive one thousand lashes, but the magnanimity of the colonel prevented the sentence from being executed. He was released, but the injustice of the sentence induced him to leave the army, whereupon he destroyed that part of his journal falling between 1776 and 1777. The portion of the journal preserved, although not so full in detail as that of Judge Henry, is nevertheless valuable and interesting. Captain Hendricks's company left Carlisle for the camp before Boston on 13th July, 1775, their route being via Reading, Bethlehem, Easton (where they were joined by Captain Miller's riflemen), Sussex Court-House (where Captain Daniel Morgan's company was met), to Litchfield, Connecticut (where they tarred and feathered a Tory who had violently and clamorously derided the cause of liberty and all those who espoused it), and on 9th August reached Cambridge. Here Arnold's expedition was organized, and in the selection of the three companies of riflemen who were to accompany it, the journalist records that lots were cast by the commanding officers of the eleven companies in camp, which resulted in the choice of those of Captains Daniel Morgan, Matthew Smith, and William Hendricks.
