The Siege of Quebec and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham is a historical book written by Arthur George Doughty and published in 1901. The book focuses on the events leading up to the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, which was a pivotal moment in the history of the Seven Years' War. The book begins with a detailed account of the siege of Quebec by the British forces under the command of General James Wolfe. Doughty provides a comprehensive analysis of the tactics and strategies employed by both sides during the siege, as well as the various obstacles and challenges they faced. The book then moves on to the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, which took place on September 13, 1759, and resulted in the defeat of the French forces under the command of General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm. Doughty provides a detailed account of the battle, including the movements of the troops, the weapons used, and the key players involved. He also discusses the aftermath of the battle and its impact on the Seven Years' War, as well as the broader implications for the history of Canada and North America as a whole. Throughout the book, Doughty draws on a wide range of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and official reports, to provide a rich and detailed account of the events he describes. He also provides extensive footnotes and references, making the book an invaluable resource for scholars and historians interested in this period of history. Overall, The Siege of Quebec and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham is a fascinating and engaging account of a pivotal moment in Canadian and North American history, and a must-read for anyone interested in military history or the history of Canada.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
