Description
"Quebec -- The Ramparts: This is a quaint corner of the ramparts, which, although now purely ornamental and of no military value, were once impregnable. When the British captured Quebec, it was not by assault upon the main fortifications, but by scaling the cliff above the city, under cover of night."
Excerpt from "ACROSS CANADA BY C. P. R.", Section 2--The Province of Quebec; booklet, McGill University Illustrated Lectures, 1928.
