Kount back to September 13, 1759
I was told by one of my university history professors that
if the French would have won the battle of Quebec there could
be a strong argument that the entire North America would now be
speaking French.
General Wolfe of the English forces however won the battle. Wolfe
with his men managed to carry 2 cannons up a cliff to surprise
the French general Montcalm. I was always curious as to how steep
this cliff was. Here is a picture looking down the cliff. There
is a car on the lower street in the center of the picture.
Here is the only remaining guard. (Shown here at the bottom of the cliff)
