abstract	Louis-Joseph de Montcalm-Gozon, Marquis de Saint Veran (28 February 1712 – 14 September 1759) was a French soldier and noble. After serving with distinction in the War of the Polish Succession and the War of the Austrian Succession, he attained the rank of brigadier general. in 1756, Montcalm was promoted to major general and appointed as the commander of the French forces in North America during the Seven Years' War. After some initial successes throughout 1756 to 1758, French fortunes began to turn in 1759 in light of massive resources Britain was able to mobilize in North America. In 1759, Montcalm, now charged with defending Quebec City, opted to meet the British forces commanded by James Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham. The French were defeated, and Montcalm received a fatal wound to the abdomen. (Ironically, Wolfe was fatally wounded as well, and died just after the French began their retreat.) Montcalm was carried back to Quebec, and died before the city's final evacuation began. His decisions at Quebec have made Montcalm a controversial figure.
