The enterprise against this fortress was conducted by the land and naval commanders, Amherst and Boscawen, with twenty ships of the line, and 14,000 men. The armament left Halifax late in May, and arrived before Louisburg early in June.
A regular siege, the best conducted of any which had ever been laid in America, placed this fortress in the hands of the British. It was by his gallant conduct during this siege, that James Wolfe began his high career of military renown. The loss of Louisburg wa
