Excerpt from William and Mary: A Tale of the Siege of Louisburg, 1745 Among the few historical localities in Canada, none is of greater interest than that of Louisburg, Cape Breton. Although the once redoubtable fortress has disappeared little remaining to mark the spot save some heaps of rubbish and mounds of earth - the place has still a strange charm for all who have been so fortunate as to stand amidst its ruins.
