The fortification
of New France accelerated under the governorship of Comte de Frontenac
(1622-1698). When asked to surrender in 1689, when Quebec was under attack,
he responded: "I have no reply ... other than from the mouths of my cannon
and muskets. " This early view by J.D. Kelly captures this moment. [CJ
