This original newspaper contains a prominent inside page headline: "DESCRIPTION OF QUEBEC, Character of Its Inhabitants, and the Manner of Living in that French Colony" with a long detailed (6 columns of text) essay describing QUEBEC CITY, Canada at the time of its occupation by the French and just 1 year before it fell to the British during the FRENCH and INDIAN WAR. The capture of Quebec City by the British in 1759 during the BATTLE of the PLAINS OF ABRAHAM marked the capture of Canada by the British in the FRENCH and INDIAN WAR (also known as the "Seven Years War"). Longest and most detailed description of Quebec City, CANADA I have seen in a contemporary newspaper from the French and Indian War era Quebec City is the capital city of the Canadian province of Quebec. Explorer Samuel de Champlain founded a French settlement here in 1608, and adopted the Algonquin name. Quebec City is one of the oldest European settlements in North America.Quebec was the headquarters of many raids against New England during the four French and Indian Wars. In 1690 the city was attacked by the English, but was successfully defended. In the last of the conflicts, the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War), Quebec was captured by the British in 1759, and held until the end of the war in 1763. In that time many battles and sieges took place: the Battle of Beauport, a French victory (31 July 1759); the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, in which British troops under General James Wolfe defeated the French General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm on 13 September 1759, and shortly thereafter took the city after a short siege. A French counterattack saw a French victory at the Battle of Sainte-Foy (28 April 1760) but the subsequent second Siege of Quebec the following month however saw a final British victory. After a campaign of three months British forces captured Quebec City after the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.France ceded New France, including the city, to Britain in 1763, when the French and Indian War officially ended.*** Very good condition.
