Louis-Joseph De Montcalm
Lieutenant-General Louis-Joseph de Montcalm-Gozon, Marquis de Montcalm de Saint-Veran (; 28 February 1712 – 14 September 1759) was a French Royal Army officer best known for his unsuccessful defence of New France during the French and Indian War. Montcalm was born in Vestric-et-Candiac near Nîmes to an aristocratic family, and joined the French army at a young age. He served in the War of the Polish Succession and the War of the Austrian Succession, where his service resulted in a promotion to brigadier general. In 1756, King Louis XV sent him to New France to lead its defence against the British in the Seven Years' War. Montcalm met with notable successes in 1756, 1757 and 1758, but British mobilisation of large numbers of troops against New France led to military setbacks in 1758 and 1759 (when, in January, he was promoted to lieutenant general), culminating in Montcalm's death at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Montcalm's service in New France was marked by confl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Meteor (automobile)
Meteor was a brand, marque of automobiles offered by Ford Motor Company of Canada from 1949 to 1961 and from 1964 to 1976. It succeeded the Mercury (automobile), Mercury 114, a Canadian-market Mercury based on the Ford Motor Company, Ford, the "114" name being taken from the car's wheelbase. The Meteor was introduced to complement the Mercury (automobile), Mercury and to give Canadian Mercury-Lincoln dealers a car to sell in the low-price market, against the Canadian Pontiac (automobile), Pontiac. Similarly, Canadian Ford dealers offered the Monarch_(marque), Monarch, a line of cars based on the Mercury models, to compete against the Oldsmobile. This was due to the dealer structure in Canada, where smaller communities might have only a single dealer that was expected to carry a full line of models in both the low- and mid-price classes. From 1949–1959, Meteor typically ran fourth in overall sales, behind Chevrolet, Ford, and Pontiac. The make was retired for the 1962 and 1963 mo ...

The marathon can be completed by running or with a run/walk strategy. There are also wheelchair divisions.

Montcalm Sanitarium
The town of Colorado Springs, Colorado, played an important role in the history of tuberculosis in the era before antituberculosis drugs and vaccines. Tuberculosis management before this era was difficult and often of limited effect. In the 19th century, a movement for tuberculosis treatment in hospital-like facilities called sanatoriums became prominent, especially in Europe and North America. Thus people sought tuberculosis treatment in Colorado Springs because of its dry climate and fresh mountain air. Some people stayed in boarding houses, while others sought the hospital-like facilities of sanatoriums. In the 1880s and 1890s, it is estimated that one-third of the people living in Colorado Springs had tuberculosis. The number of sanatoriums and hospitals increased into the twentieth century. During World War II, medicines were developed that successfully treated tuberculosis and by the late 1940s specialized tuberculosis treatment facilities were no longer needed. Several of t ...
