The Military Reputation of Major-General James Wolfe
THE MILITARY REPUTATION OF MAJOR-GENERAL JAMES WOLFE Presidential Address Delivered by E. R. Adair 1936 This is an age when heroes are viewed with a somewhat sceptical eye, when it is felt that mere blind veneration for the reputations of the past should not turn aside the chilly wind of historical criticism, that the legends devised to charm worshippers must be tested by the acid of facts. So far General Wolfe has survived any serious attacks upon his reputation, very largely because he was fortunate enough to die in the moment of victory, a victory moreover that came like a blessed thunderbolt to an England that thought that all hope of it had departed, for, as Horace Walpole aptly says, Wolfe's final despatch couched "in the most artful terms that could be framed" had "left the nation uncertain whether he meant to prepare an excuse for desisting, or to claim the melancholy merit of having sacrificed himself without a prospect of success."(1) But if his reputation has so far survived practically untarnished, it is not because he has been wholly exempt from all the dangers to which dead heroes are exposed. On the one hand he has been rendered at times a little ridiculous, by the praises of his more eulogistic biographers, of whom Beckles Willson is one of the worst,(2) and who have found it necessary to discover even in his earlier years those splendid qualities which they thought it proper for a Hero to possess; that there was no particular authority to justify their views seemed quite immaterial. -

Nevertheless, the French did not take effective control of their foothold on this continent until 7^ years later when Samuel de Champlain founded the settlement of Quebec in 1608, at the foot of Cape Diamond on the St. Laurence River. At first, the settlement was conceived of as a trading post for the lucrative fur trade, but two difficul ties soon becam,e apparent—problems that have plagued French Canada to the present day—the difficulty of comirunication across trackless forests and m.ountainous terrain and the rigors of the Great Canadian Winter. -

Par le seul fait qu'il se rapporte à l'événement le plus important peut-être de toute notre histoire, sa publication paraîtra amplement justifiée. C'est un témoignage de plus ajouté à ceux que nous possédions déjà sur la fin du régime français, et nous ne pouvions pas encore nous plaindre d'en posséder trop. Les historiens n'ont pas fini d'assembler la documentation complète et sûre qui leur permettra enfin de faire revivre dans toute sa réalité le drame de la Guerre de Sept ans, si singulièrement entremêlé de gloire et de honte, et de partager équitablement entre tous ses acteurs la louange et le blâme. Sur les opérations militaires du siège de Québec les renseignements sont assez abondants, grâce aux nombreux officiers qui ont éprouvé le besoin ou cédé au penchant naturel d'écrire leurs mémoires, soit pour leur justification personnelle, soit pour l'édification de leur progéniture. Ce que nous avons besoin de mieux connaître, c'est l'état d'âme bourgeois, les vicis situdes de la vie d'assiégé. -

From the 1st to the 8th of this month our redoubted foe, General Montgomery, in conjunction with his col- league in arms, Colonel Arnold, and other officers in the rebel army, (who have lately figured as the prin- cipal chieftains of the insurgent forces, leagued to- gether for our destruction,) prepared to besiege us in form; and after taking possession of the principal houses in the neighborhood of the town, employed all the inhabitants in the laborious task of cutting fas- cines, and opening lines of circumvallation ; which ac- count we learn from numerous deserters. On the 5th. of this month Montgomerj^ who it appears had taken possession of the parish of St. Croix, two miles from this City, at first posted himself there with some field artillery, having landed his heavy cannon at Cap Eouge, beyond the Heights of Abraham—Arnold's de- tachment taking possession in the interim of the Grande Allee from St. Louis' Gate, and the other principal avenues, so as to cut off all communication with the country. -

The German Presence in Quebec City
The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 1 Map of Quebec City and surrounding area 2 Ursuline Convent and Chapel Quebec City Saint Michael Church Sillery Holy Trinity Church Quebec City 3 The German Presence in the Quebec City Region Researched and compiled by Jacques Gagné [email protected] Last updated: 2016-01-05 Centuries after Hans Bernhard settled in New France, 100,000 people in Québec claim German origins. They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

By the end of the course, adult learners will be able to characterize and interpret particular features of the history of Québec and Canada from 1840 to 1945.
