Living
in Quebec (Living In... S.)
Bursting with European charm, stunning natural landscapes, and
world-class cuisine, the province of Quebec is abundant in natural
beauty and cosmopolitan flair. From culturally-rich cities to
pristine parks, this unique region of Canada is a treasure to
discover. The Quebecois invite us to enter their Victorian mansions,
colonial French homes, brick houses with winding exterior staircases,
log cabins, and contemporary lofts to share in culinary specialties
such as maple syrup and tourtiere, the traditional meat pie
eaten on Christmas eve. Living in Quebec follows the changing
seasons from the flamboyant colors of an Indian summer to the
underground life of Montreal in winter. Picturesque villages
along the banks of the St. Lawrence, footpaths around clear
blue lakes, and magnificent spring gardens all come to life
in this richly-illustrated volume.
Oatmeal and the Catechism: Scottish Gaelic Settlers in Quebec This work records the oral history, folklore and folk-life of emigrants from the Outer Hebrides to Quebec in the 19th century. It opens with the historical background before telling oral history as remembered and experienced by the emigrants' descendants, telling of land clearing, "homesteading", farming, lumbering, bridge building and all the other tasks required to build a new community in the wilderness. Gaelic-speaking presbyterians, the group kept their language for the first three generations and still retain their religion to this day, as well as the tradition of the "taigh ceilidh". For more than a century people in the Outer Hebrides have been asking what happened to those who left. This work answers much of that question..

The Battle for Quebec 1759: Britain's Conquest of Canada The definitive history of the campaigns in Canada between the British and French Empires during the Seven Years War. On September 13, 1759, British and French forces fought one of the most decisive battles of history, on the Plains of Abraham outside the Canadian capital of Quebec. The British force decisively routed the French, seized the city and ultimately all of Canada. Both the French and British commanders fell in the battle, and ever since the pathos and heroism of the encounter have engrossed historians. The struggle for Quebec was far more than one climactic battle. The campaign involved an immense military and naval operation, an eighteenth-century D-Day, which had begun the year before. Matthew Ward has researched extensively in archives in Britain and Canada to look at the entire campaign for Quebec, from its inception in Whitehall to its ultimate culmination in Montreal in 1760. He has probed beyond the actions of commanders and generals, to examine the experiences of the campaign for the ordinary soldier and civilian. What emerges is not just a picture of bravery and heroism, but also of a campaign which became increasingly brutal and cruel, both sides resorting to practices such as the routine scalping of enemy dead. It is also a surprising picture of the day-to-day, often mundane, lives of civilians and troops many thousands of miles from home.
