As in every army, Montgomery's spent more time waiting then fighting, and by the time he finally took his
troops into Montreal, the hitch of his citizen-soldiers had run out. Montgomery hoped that more would
re-enlist for the next push to Quebec City, but many, Henry among them, did not. Henry was anxious to get
back to his baby daughter and wife.
Even with his substantially smaller army, Montgomery did continue on to Quebec. It was there, outside the
gates of the old city, that Montgomery fell before a lucky cannon shot. Canada was not going to be joined
with the United States to fight the British.
