The fortifications of l'ile aux Noix : a portrait of the defensive strategy on the Upper Richelieu border in the 18th and 19th centuries / by André Charbonneau. : R61-2/9-61E
As a key element in Canada's defense strategy during the past two centuries, Île aux Noix has been the stuff of myth making. André Charbonneau, an historian with Parks Canada, has set the record straight with the first-ever detailed study of Île aux Noix and other military positions along Quebec's Richelieu River. His research casts new light on defence strategies that helped define our nation.
