The fortification of Île aux Noix : a portrait of the defensive strategy on the Upper Richelieu Border in the 18th and 19th centuries / André Charbonneau ; translated from the original French.: R61-2/9-61E-PDF

Given the various phases in the development of Ile aux Noix's defensive role, this document has adopted a chronological division for the order of chapters. Thus, roughly speaking, the first three coincide with the main conflicts in which Ile aux Noix played a preponderant role: the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence and the War of 1812. The three following chapters are more particularly concerned with Fort Lennox, which in a way was the end point of the island'sdefensive installations. After an assessment of the defensive situation which led to the construction of the fort, a complete chapter is devoted to its detailed technical analysis. Thus, space is given to the technical assessment of the fortification, and the implications for its defensive role are given particular attention. Chapter six analyses the last occasions on which thought was given to Ile aux Noix's defensive purpose and the modifications that this thinking produced.
