About this product

Product Information

Translated and annotated eye-witness accounts of the 1759 Siege of Quebec. Late in the summer 1759, Quebec, the capital of New France, was under siege. British Major General James Wolfe had the city surrounded and cut off from reinforcements in Montreal, Vice Admiral Charles Saunders was in firm control of the rivers surrounding the city as well as the supply routes into the region. The French population found itself low on food and ammunition to defend themselves, and suffering daily bombardment by the English. The walls of Quebec were manned by militiamen and sailors taken from French ships lost or anchored above the city for their protection. Lieutenant General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm-Grozon and his aide-de-camp Louis-Antoine de Bougainville commanded the French regulars outside the city, moving them in rapid deployments to counter the British advances. Here the story is told by the citizens within the walls: an artillery captain, a prominent citizen, the emissary traveling between the British and the French commanders, and a Catholic nun working in the main hospital, treating the sick and wounded of both armies. Three of these works are offered in English for the first time, and all four are fully annotated. These journals and memoirs bring us inside the siege, allowing us to watch through their eyes as the fate of New France was determined.
