A Dialogue in Hades by chevalier de James Johnstone

  Work dealing with Johnstone's time in Canada were printed in Quebec in 1887: The Campaign of 1760 in Canada and A dialogue in Hades: a parallel of military errors, of which the French and English armies were guilty, during the campaign of 1759, in Canada.^[1]

"A Dialogue in Hades" by Chevalier de James Johnstone Johnstone is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work presents a unique perspective on military strategies and mistakes made during the 1759 campaign in Canada, focusing particularly on the encounters between French and English forces. The dialogue features key military figures, notably General Wolfe and the Marquis de Montcalm, who discuss their experiences and the errors that led to their respective downfalls. The opening of the text introduces a captivating discourse between Wolfe and Montcalm in the afterlife. They reflect on their fateful encounters during the military campaign in Canada, discussing their respective strategies, the failures in communication and preparedness, and the tragic outcomes of their decisions. The two generals confront the biases of their nations regarding their legacies, as Wolfe receives posthumous accolades while Montcalm laments his unjust treatment. The dialogue method employed illustrates their contrasting viewpoints and provides readers with an insightful examination of leadership, fate, and historical interpretation in the realm of war.A Dialogue in Hades by chevalier de James Johnstone Johnstone | Project Gutenberg
