THE BOSTON EVENING POST, Feb. 4, 1760  A great issue on the French & Indian War as the entire front page, and a bit of page 2, are taken up with two reports on the Battle of Quebec.
On September 13, 1759, General James Wolfe's British forces defeated the French forces under the command of Marquis de Montcalm at the Battle of Quebec (also known as the Battle of the Plains of Abraham). This battle was a pivotal moment in the French and Indian War and ultimately led to British control of Canada. Both Wolfe and Montcalm were killed in the battle.
