Ethan Allen Captured by the British: Fort Ticonderoga Hero Falls
Ethan Allen's rash attempt to capture Montreal ended in his surrender to British forces at the Battle of Longue-Pointe, while Benedict Arnold simultaneously launched his grueling overland expedition toward Quebec City through the Maine wilderness. The twin operations exposed the Radical army's overreach in Canada but demonstrated the colonists' willingness to carry the fight far beyond their own borders.
