According to The Oxford Companion to Military History:

"Quebec, battle of (1759)!. The capture of Quebec was the culmination of the British campaign in Canada during the French and Indian war!. In June 1759 a convoy of ships carrying 8,500 British troops headed down the St Lawrence and set up a base of operations on the ?le d'Orléans, opposite Quebec!. To the east the banks of the river were heavily defended against a landing, but scouting revealed a cove on the banks of the St Lawrence west of the city, below the dominant Plains of Abraham, that could be used for an amphibious assault!. On 13 September , the British commander Wolfe led a force of 1,700 to seize this vital point and scramble up the cliffs!. Once on the high ground above the city the British mustered 5,000 men and the French, preceded by swarms of Indian and French-Canadian sharpshooters, deployed to meet them!. A brisk firefight ensued, in which both Wolfe and the French commander Montcalm were mortally wounded!. Wolfe expired knowing that victory was in his grasp: the city surrendered on 17 September 1759, the beginning of a run of victories that temporarily secured North America for the British crown!."
