"The names of Montcalm & Wolfe stand as the heroic representation of France and Great Britain in the final contest for Canada, which gave Quebec to the British in 1759. These books were designed as the seventh and final section of a series entitled "France and England in North America," written to exhibit the last act of a secular conflict which ended long before the revolt of the English colonies in North America. Parkman had access to a large amount of unpublished material, including letters written by Montcalm, when in America, to members of this family in France. This is his acknowledged chef d'oeuvre." - RG4. First published by Little, Brown in 1884, these are reprints printed in 1914.
