Old Quebec The fortress of new France By Gilbert parker and Claude G Bryan Copp Clark company Limited Toronto Published by norwood press the Publisher: Macmillan Company. New York 1903 New York, : An early history of Canada's most controversial province. This history covers the early voyages of Cartier, Roberval, Samuel de Champlain and La Salle; trading companies, Quebec in the 1800s and more. Appendices list governors of Canada, 1540-1898; leaders and premiers after the union of 1841; 1841-1896; and ministers after the confederation of 1867, 1867-1900 sent Quebec 1756 commander French troop French and Indian War. His early campaigns against the British were major successes. He expanded the defenses at Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain. He captured and destroyed Fort Oswego on Lake Ontario in 1756. His victory at Fort William Henry in 1757 was a military and personal victory, but the conduct of his Algonquin allies made this a political loss. These actions were immortalized in James Fenimore Cooper's novel The Last of the Mohicans. It should also be noted that during the "massacre" at Fort William Henry, Montcalm was disgusted by the Algonquin slaughter of the English troops and their Iroquis allies, and is said to have ridden out immediately upon hearing of it. He came to the scene and put an abrupt halt to the carnage, at one point even offering his own life for the lives of the prisoners. The "massacre", however is now under question due to new evidence of incorrect numbers that in the past were taken as fact. The event itself is, by some, now considered false, and an early use of propaganda by the British at that time.
