Who was General Montcalm?

Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm, was the General of the French troops at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham (sometimes called the Battle of Quebec) which occurred on September 12, 1759, and which lasted for barely an hour. British troops, led by General James Wolfe, defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham, just outside Quebec City. Both Montcalm and Wolfe died from wounds suffered in battle. The Battle of the Plains of Abraham was a major victory for the British in the Seven Years War (known in the US as the French and Indian War).
