13 account is a letter from Major Samuel Holland to Lieutenant - Governor John Graves Simcoe , dated June 10th, 1792, and in reply to a letter from Simcoe of May 26th . Holland prefaces his letter by stating that his plans, remarks and journals respecting the campaigns of 1758 and 1759 were stolen with his baggage from a bus, while in London some years before. Holland accompanied Wolfe when reconnoitring above the town, and built the batteries at Levis. Major Gwillem of the 47th served under Wolfe and his daughter Elizabeth married J. G. Simcoe . Hon . Wm. Howe held the rank of Colonel of the 58th foot under Wolfe. Holland was directed by Wolfe to make a feint at Sillery with twelve pounders, but was run down by a schooner. He escaped by swimming, but lost a fusee that had been presented to him by his beloved commander . On the Plains of Abraham he laid down a meridian line and set up stone monuments on it near the where Wolfe afterwards fell. On the day of the battle Holland was sent to erect a redoubt to the left, but owing to the rapidity of the French advance he was unable to go and, returning to report to Wolfe, he found him mortally wounded and practically alone. He was carried off the field by Henry Brown of the 28th and James Henderson , a Grenadier. Holland assisted by supporting Wolfe's wounded arm while they were bringing him down the hill to the right of the 48th. The surgeon's mate of the 48th also joined them. A wounded grenadier rushed up crying "the French run," and Holland repeated it, but Wolfe closed his eyes and breathed his last without a groan. He did not utter a single syllable from the time Holland reached him nor were any persons present at his death excepting the four mentioned, Brown, Henderson, Trent (the surgeon's mate) and Holland. In West's picture of the death of Wolfe many prominent men are shown who were not even on the battlefield, and to add picturesqueness Indians were included. In Barry's picture only five persons are shown. An article on the death of Wolfe appeared in the Quebec Gazette of July 11th, 1815, in which it was stated that he died in the arms of Dr. Wilkins , and it was also stated that Dr. Tudor attended him in his last moments. In West's portrait Dr. Adair is in attendance. By another authority his head fell on the bosom of Ligonier and he expired without a struggle. There can be little doubt that Holland's account of the last moments of Wolfe is absolutely correct. Our school histories there¬ fore require revision. During the succeeding autumn and winter Holland, as Engineer, was busy in strengthening the outposts. In 1760 he acted as Chief Engineer after Major McKellar was wounded on April 20th. Ticonderoga was captured on July 24th, 1759, and Crown Point early in August by General Amherst , thus giving the British control of . On July 25th Prideaux captured . At the end of the year 1759 all of the important posts in Canada were in the hands of the British excepting those at or n the vicinity of , Detroit and Michilimackinac. The conquest was completed in the following summer and the terms of capitulation signed on September 8th, 1760. George II died on October 25th, 1760, and was succeeded by his grandson, George III . Pitt, to whose vigorous administration was largely due the conquest of Canada , was succeeded by Bute and the war
