The Last Campaign: the Fall of New France in 1760 Michael Phifer

When the gunsmoke cleared after the epic battle on the Plains of Abraham on September 13, 1759 and Generals Wolfe and Montcalm lay dead or dying, the conquest of New France was not over yet. A year of fighting still lay ahead. The Last Campaign: The Fall of New France in 1760 tells the exciting history of the capture of New France. While French commanders in Canada desperately attempted to save their besieged colony, the British planned its capture. In the summer of 1760 three armies made up of British regulars and American provincials descended on Montreal from the south, east and west. The history of North America would never be the same.
