| Summary | "The Campaign of 1760 in Canada" by Chevalier Johnstone is a historical account published in the late 19th century, specifically in 1887. This narrative recounts the military operations and strategic maneuvers during the French and Indian War, particularly the campaign that led to the English capture of Quebec and the subsequent impact on Canada. The book serves as both a military history and a personal testament, drawing on Johnstone's experiences and observations as a soldier in the conflict. In the narrative, Johnstone details the complexities of the military campaign, including the ambitious yet ultimately impractical plans of the French forces to recapture Quebec after its initial fall. He discusses the leadership of figures like M. de Levis and the numerous fortuitous events that affected the course of battles. The text provides insights into the strategic challenges faced by the French, the resilience of Canadian troops, and the crucial events that culminated in the loss of Canada to British forces. Johnstone reflects on the themes of fortune in warfare, the dynamics of military leadership, and the devastating effects of the conflict on the colony and its inhabitants. Overall, the book is a thorough examination of a pivotal moment in North American history. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
