Quebec
(Maison de Montcalm)
This
ancient building, the oldest in Quebec of which reliable
record appears, is at the corner of St. Louis and Garden
streets. It is said to have been occupied by a French
chemist or surgeon, Arnoux, at the time of the battle
on the Plains of Abraham, and it was here that the wounded
Montcalm was brought to breathe his last. It is believed
that the articles of capitulation were signed here.
