General Wolfe

A few steps away from the Wolfe monument is a well in which water is said to have been drawn to succour the dying general. 

Since the property on which the well is located has changed hands a number of times since the 1759 battle, the well was filled in and cleared out more than once in the 19th century.

It was restored in 1932 by the Dominican brothers and was given in 1942 to the National Battlefields Commission, which has since maintained it.
