[1977:] In 1759 as a major-general [James Wolfe]
was sent by William Pitt to Canada in command of
an expeditionary force whose task was to take

defeat of the French on the plain before Quebec,
and the death of Wolfe in the hour of victory,
are almost as much part of the national
consciousness as the Nelsonian legend. (Palmer,
Soldier 149f)
[1993:] About the historic and
ongoing conflict between the French and the
English in Canada. (James Keelaghan, Sing Out
