520 |a"Quebec City began like any other outpost that Europeans had been settling in the Americas over the previous hundred years, yet it was already the strategic core of New France. Later, Quebec City also played this role in British North America until the mid-nineteenth century. In the mid-eighteenth century, its influence extended over half of the North American continent. The site was fortified against Aboriginal, then English and, lastly, American threats. The walls protected political, religious, cultural and economic institutions. Yet a fortified town is not closed or isolated, as these strongholds all too often tend to be seen. Before the end of the seventeenth century, in fact, Quebec City was part of a Canadian and French network of towns. It played a major military role within this network, a role that was further strengthened after New France became British territory. The writers wanted to give this military story a human face. This perspective is absolutely essential: there is a symbiosis between a military garrison, even one foreign to a country, and the people who surround it"--Introduction, page 12.
