Good Morning #Canada
On October 16th, 1690, Sir William Phips sailed his small fleet into the Quebec River basin to begin his ill-fated seige of the town. His demand for surrender prompted one of the greatest military responses in history when Frontenac replied, "I have no reply to make to your general other than from the mouths of my cannons and muskets." After the Americans were defeated, stone walls surrounding Quebec City were begun.
