1: “Waiting no longer for more troops, Montcalm led the French army impetuously to the attack. The ill-disciplined companies broke by their precipitation and the unevenness of the ground, and fired by platoons without unity. Their adversaries, especially the Forty-third and Forty-seventh, where Monckton stood, of which three men out of four were Americans, received the shock with calmness.”—Bancroft, vol. ii, page 510, D. Appleton & Co. The author’s last revision. ◄
