>On September 19, 1759, the arsonists' work was completed. On August 22, Wolfe wrote: "I intend to burn all the enemy's buildings and crops on the South Shore." Major George Scott was entrusted with command of this second expedition, which is better known to historians than the Goreham expedition. Indeed, the report Scott produced for his superior, Monkton, has been preserved. On September 9, at 2:30 a.m., Scott began disembarking his troops, about three miles east of the Kamouraska church. The soldiers were all ashore around 2:00 p.m. They burned 56 buildings that day, and the next day, the 10th, they burned another 109, still in Kamouraska.
On the 11th, Scott marched his soldiers from Kamouraska to the Ouelle River, where they burned 121 establishments. On the 12th, 55 buildings were burned and livestock stolen at Cap au Diable, at the mouth of the Ouelle River. On the 13th, the force burned 216 buildings as it advanced up the east bank of the Ouelle River. On the morning of the 14th, Scott's force burned 151 houses on the road from Rivière-Ouelle to Sainte-Anne and 90 others from Sainte-Anne to Saint-Roch, in addition to a sloop and a schooner. On the 19th, Scott wrote in his report that he had marched a total of 52 miles from Kamouraska to the British camp on Île d'Orléans, and burned "998 good buildings, two sloops, two schooners, ten rowboats, several boats and small sails, taken 15 prisoners (six women and five children), killed five of the enemy, against one regular soldier wounded, two Rangers killed, and four other Rangers wounded."
By mid-September, the British camp reported having destroyed "over 1,400 farms" in rural Quebec, on both shores along the river. A New England newspaper, the Boston News-Letter, which reported this on December 6, predicted that the enemy might take half a century to recover.

Yeah, nah. Fuck the brits.
