Description: ÒQuebec was originally settled by the French, and the present population is largely composed of descendants of the Voyagers. The capital, Quebec, is the oldest city in the Dominion. Its fortifications were at one time considered, next to Gibraltar, the strongest in the world. Nevertheless, the fortress was captured by General Wolfe. The metropolis, Montreal, is noted for its churches. &mdash Wark 1904
