About This Book

The narrative traces the city’s origin under its founder and narrates its early settlement, growth, and architecture; it recounts repeated conflicts with Indigenous nations and contested campaigns against English forces, detailing sieges, the Plains of Abraham, and the fifth siege of the city. Portraits of military leaders and religious figures appear alongside accounts of missionary work, martyrdom, and civic life; chapters alternate battle scenes with descriptions of churches, ramparts, daily life, and later peaceful developments. Period illustrations and evocative sketches accompany historical sketches of governance, defense, and cultural institutions.
