Blockade Of Quebec In 1775-1776 By The American Revolutionists (Les Bastonnais)

By Fred C. Wurtele

Book Overview

When Boston's rebels turned north, Quebec became a battleground for the future of a continent. History hangs in the balance. Fred. C. Wurtele's Blockade of Quebec in 1775-1776 by the American Revolutionists (Les Bastonnais) offers a vivid, meticulously researched account of the siege of Quebec 1775 and the wider invasion of Canada 1775. Placing readers amid the Continental Army Quebec campaign and the frozen ramparts of a besieged city, this classic work of nonfiction American revolution history follows strategy, hardship, and resolve on both sides, illuminating one of the most dramatic American revolutionary war battles fought on Canadian soil. At once a revolutionary war history book and a cornerstone canadian military history book, it traces how an ambitious thrust into the north shaped the American Revolution in Canada and the destiny of British North America. Written from a distinctly Canadian perspective, Wurtele's narrative brings to life 18th century Quebec history, revealing political tensions, shifting loyalties, and the endurance of the garrison and townspeople during blockade. Clear, concise, and grounded in primary records, it remains invaluable for revolutionary war buffs, family historians, and for Canadian history students seeking a reliable account of the battle of Quebec 1775 within its broader imperial context. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this edition invites casual readers and serious collectors to rediscover a pivotal front in American revolutionary war battles.
