August 1759 CE
Wolfe's troops, along with American Rangers, attack and destroy small French settlements along the St. Lawrence.
An estimated fourteen hundred stone houses and manors are destroyed, and many colonists killed.
The effort is likely an attempt to force Montcalm's army out of its fortifications, but is unsuccessful.
However, the attacks do reduce the amount of supplies available to the French, especially as the British navy, unable to control the St. Lawrence entirely, is successfully blockading the ports in France.
