  • Capt. Daniel Morgan's Company on the Expedition To
    CAPT. DANIEL MORGAN’S COMPANY ON THE EXPEDITION TO QUEBEC IN 1775: AN UPDATED LIST By Stephen Darley Brigadier General Daniel Morgan is one of the better known veterans of Colonel Benedict Arnold’s march to Quebec. There have been three excellent biographies written about Morgan that provide the details of his life and career.1 His victory at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781 clinched his reputation as an effective Revolutionary War fighting general. He first became known to the public in the colonies as a result of his leadership of one of the three rifle companies in the 1775 expedition through the Maine wilderness to take Quebec. Morgan and most of his men were captured by the British in the failed assault on Quebec on December 31, 1775 and Morgan himself was released on parole with the rest of the captured officers in the fall of 1776. He was released from his parole through an exchange in 1777 and rejoined the American army to participate with Arnold in the Battle of Saratoga. There have been three previous attempts to list the men who were in Captain Daniel Morgan’s Company on that march.2 However, none of these previous listings has presented a complete roster of the men in Morgan’s Company. The roster shown below, consisting of 83 officers and men, is taken from this author’s recent book, Voices from a Wilderness Expedition: The Journals and Men of Benedict Arnold’s Expedition to Quebec in 1775. 3 That book provides a list of the sources that were used to establish the identity of each name on the list.
