Note 32 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
This romantic story is not fully established. Parkman cites it as historical, but Kingsford considers it disproved by General Murray's Journal. Its original source is the diary of the Chevalier de Lévis, but it also appears in The Campaign of 1760, attributed to the Chevalier Johnstone, Montcalm's Scotch aide-de-camp.
