The Winning of Canada a Chronicle of Wolf is volume 11 in a 15 volume set of books written by various authors covering Canadian history. William Wood was a 19th century historian and author. In the author’s note to this volume Wood writes: Any life of Wolfe can be artificially simplified by treating his purely military work as something complete in itself and not as a part of a greater whole. But, since such treatment gives a totally false idea of his achievement, this little sketch, drawn straight from original sources, tries to show him as he really was, a co-worker with the British fleet in a war based entirely on naval strategy and inseparably connected with international affairs of world-wide significance. The only simplification attempted here is that of arrangement and expression.
