Abraham, Plains of (sh)




Plateau located southwest of the old walled city of Quebec, Canada.

On September 13, 1759, it was the scene of the decisive battle of the French and Indian War, in which the British under James Wolfe defeated the French under the Marquis de Montcalm. U.S. forces held the plateau (1775-76) in their siege of Quebec during the American Revolution. It is now a park within Quebec city limits.
