In September 1759 a silent night run on the St Lawrence put British regulars on the heights west of Quebec. At dawn their two-rank line held fire, then delivered a crushing close-range volley that broke Montcalm’s advance and forced the city’s fall days later. This episode traces the river gamble at Anse-au-Foulon, the short but decisive exchange on the plateau, and how Quebec’s loss unpicked New France.
