Appearing in the major roles are: Mavor Moore as Thomas Walker, pro-Revolutionary Montreal fur merchant; Bill Needles as George Washington, who was to become commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army; James Edmond as John Adams, a patriot leader who was to become the second U.S. president; Ivor Barry as Governor Carleton of Quebec; and Bertrand Gagnon as Bishop Briand. <30mn>Subjects:AMERICAN REVOLUTION~CANADIAN HISTORY~QUEBEC~QUEBEC INVASION, 1775-1776 ~BARRY, IVOR~EDMOND, JAMES~GAGNON, BERTRAND~MOORE, MAVOR~NEEDLES, WILLIAM~SAYWELL, JOHN Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
