Re: General Wolfe The Canadian Encyclopedia Plus, (Copyright © 1995 by McClelland & Stewart Inc.), has this about Gen. Wolfe: "Wolfe, James, British army officer, commander of the British expedition that took Québec in 1759 (b at Westerham, Eng 2 Jan 1727/28; d at the Battle of the PLAINS OF ABRAHAM 13 Sept 1759). One of the legendary figures of Canadian history, Wolfe has become known as the man whose defeat of MONTCALM in 1759 marked the beginning of British rule in Canada. He saw fighting in both Flanders and Scotland, and gained a notable reputation before going to N America in 1758 as a senior officer in Jeffery AMHERST's expedition against LOUISBOURG. During the siege, Wolfe, a charismatic figure, played a distinguished and active role, which influenced his selection as commander of the expedition against Québec planned for 1759. Yet for most of the 1759 campaign he made little headway, partially because of his vacillation and limited ideas." ________________________________________ FYI: The Plains of Abraham are in Quebec City.
