Midwinter Sports in Quebec
Midwinter Sports in Quebec (1917) jadi salah satu film dokumenter yang banyak diperbincangkan penonton. Quebec stands 200 feet above the lower town, dominating the entire landscape. Along Duffern Terrace there runs the toboggan slide, which at night is brilliantly illuminated. Also there are ski-jumping contests that will give thrills of pleasure. Snow-shoe hiking is popular with those who prefer it, and many a cross-country hike is taken on snow five feet deep or more. Then, too, there are dog sled races, curling-club matches, coasting and tea dances. The pictures of these sports were taken while the thermometer registered from ten to thirty degrees below zero. Besides sports there are many historical points of interest in Quebec. The Chateau Frontenac, overlooking the Duffern Terrace, the lower city and ice-choked St. Lawrence River, stands on the site of the historic Fort Louis, former stronghold of the French and English governors of the Province of Quebec. The famous battlefield where the English general Wolfe died is a particular point of interest.
