Montmorenci Falls, Canada
MONTMORENCI FALLS, CANADA. 31 July 1759. On the north shore of the St. Lawrence River below these falls, a few miles east of Quebec City, Major General James Wolfe tried to penetrate the French defenses. His lack of success prolonged the siege of Quebec and ultimately persuaded him to undertake the gamble of threatening Quebec from the bluffs west of the city, on the Plains of Abraham.
