Thanks, Bea! I get CBC so I'll be looking for this series. It will be interesting to see this from a Canadian perspective for a change.

The picture you posted; The Battle of the Plains of Abraham (Quebec) is where both Montcalm & Wolfe fell. For a bit of familiarity in regard to the F & I War & LOTM, see our link below.

Death comes to us all ...

"I am overwhelmed with work, and should often lose temper,... if I did not remember that I am paid by Europe for
not losing it."

Le Marquis de Montcalm, September 11, 1759

"{The paths of glory lead but to the grave}...Gentlemen, I would rather have written those lines than take
Quebec."

Major General James Wolfe, September 12, 1759
