Haliburton County's Leatherby Family plus Battle of Sainte-Foy

This week, Kate talks about the Leatherby family that settled in Haliburton County in 1867 and uses them as an example of how families had to diversify to make ends meet. Plus, Paul talks about the Battle of Sainte-Foy. Sainte-Foy took place pretty much on the grounds where the Battle of the Plains of Abraham had taken place just months earlier. but this time the roles were reversed. The British held Quebec City while the French were trying to take it. Spoiler aalert - the French won the battle, but lost the war.
