The old fort at Chambly, on the Richelieu River, 14 miles from Montreal, was built in 1710 on the site of an earlier fort. It has been fought for, taken and re-taken many times, being held in turn by French, British, United States and Canadian forces. In the military cemetery one hundred yards from its walls rest soldiers of Gen. John Thomas' American army of 1776. A monument to their memory was erected there by the D.A.R. 115 CN73 - Canada.

[Canada Goose] This is the name of the wild goose that flied far above our heads Fall and Spring, traveling north or south in great flocks shaped like an immense V. At the head is a leader who knows the way well. As it is harder work to lead than to follow, this bird is replaed by another pilot and permitted to rest, ready to come back fresh to relieve the goose there. It is not often they can be seen on the ground, as they are known better from the noisy honking that fills the sky as the flock passes. They are beautiful brids, gray bodies, with black necks and heads decorated with a white chin strap. They are said to grow quite tame, even become pets; but they are cautious, and you will not touch them without starting a fight. They are known to live as long as fifty years, mating early and remaining true to each other for life. Always a favourite, poems have been written about them, and to them. One of them is "To a Waterfowl," by William Cullen Bryant. 151 51337 - Canada. Moose posing for his picture. 152 CN136 - Canada. Quebec. Sanmour. Bear cubs. 153 CN217 - Canada. Quebec. Shawbridge.
