Death of General Montgomery, The (1777), a blank‐verse tragedy by H. H. Brackenridge. Written as an exercise for his students at the Somerset Academy in Maryland, the play described Montgomery's ill‐fated attack on Quebec, but all the real action took place offstage and was merely recounted. Nevertheless, it was perceived as a serious attempt at historical reporting and is credited with bolstering patriotic sentiments at a low point in the Revolution.
