"Old Wagoner" By
The "Old Wagoner" By: Padraic Garrett Hennessey Spirit of St. Louis Chapter of the Missouri Society Born in 1736 in Hunterdon County, NJ, Daniel Morgan suffered an unpleasant childhood and left home at seventeen for Winchester, VA. Illiterate and often drunk, Morgan gambled and fought. Morgan eventually became a wagoner transporting goods between the frontier and the market. Morgan's experiences, knowledge of the land and logistics earned him the nickname "Old Wagoner." When the French and Indian War began, Morgan's wagons transported supplies up and down the frontier battle lines. On one occasion, he aggravated a British officer, who hit Morgan with the flat of his sword. Morgan retaliated, knocking out the officer with one swipe of his fist. The British sentenced Morgan to receive 500 lashes, but the person whipping him miscounted and Morgan only received 499 lashes. Morgan endured the lashing, though with pieces of flesh hanging in strips from his back. Later, Morgan said he "owed good old King George one more." The officer who initiated the fight realized he was wrong, and he made a public apology. Morgan forgave him, but not Britain as he suffered from sciatica for the remainder of his life. Later in the war, a bullet passed through the back of Morgan's neck, knocking out all of the teeth on the left side of his jaw, and exiting his cheek. Miraculously, the bullet did not injure his jaw. It was the only wound Morgan would ever suffer in military service. After the war, Morgan retired and married. When the Revolution started, Morgan joined the army as captain of a rifle company, "Morgan's Riflemen." The technology of their rifles, which were more accurate and lighter than muskets, set Morgan's men apart. -

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. -
