With Wolfe in Canada
or, The Winning of a Continent by G.A.
Henty
Through misadventure the hero of the story, James
Walsham, becomes involved in the historic struggle between Britain and France for supremacy on the North American
continent. The issue of this war determined not only the destinies of North America, but to a large extent those of
the mother countries themselves. With Wolfe in
Canada will take the reader through many battles of this conflict.
Meet a young George Washington and General Braddock as they fight the French and Indians, join up with Rogers'
Rangers, and learn of the legendary generals Wolfe and Montcalm. With
Wolfe in Canada is a model of what a children's book should be with
its moving tale of military exploit and thrilling adventure. This classic provides a lesson in history
instructively and graphically, whilst infusing into the dead facts of history new life. Mr. Henty's
classic With Wolfe in Canada is a useful aid to study as well as amusement.
