Relive the 1759 Quebec campaign through the eyes of a British officer.

This nonfiction narrative offers a firsthand diary of the operations before Quebec, from Isle Verte to the fall of the city. It blends day-by-day observations with vivid battlefield moments and the realities of marching, fortifying, and skirmishing along the St. Lawrence.

You’ll witness the drills, the tense bombardments, and the moments of danger that defined a campaign, all set within a larger historical context. The text also reflects on leadership decisions and the costs of war, offering readers a grounded view of 18th‑century battle.
