Link to post above for SONGS ABOUT GENERAL WOLFE AND HIS DEATH IN QUEBEC
We learned about this as the Battle of the Heights of Abraham. It was a decisive defeat of the French under the Marquis de Montcalm by a British force led by Major General James Wolfe. Both commanding officers died from wounds sustained during the battle.
Jim Copper sings BOLD GENERAL WOLFE ;
Bold General Wolfe to his men did say,
“Come lads and follow without delay,
To yonder mountain that is so high,
Don't be down-hearted, don't be down-hearted,
For we'll gain the victory.”
From Mainly Norfolk
The French and Indian War was the North American phase of the Seven Years’ War (1756–63), which was also fought in Europe and India. On one side was the alliance of France, Austria, Sweden, Saxony, Russia, and Spain; on the other, the alliance of Britain, Prussia, and Hanover.
