About this eBook

Author Chevalier, H. Emile (Henri Emile), 1828-1879
Title La fille des indiens rouges
Credits Produced by Rénald Lévesque
Summary "La fille des indiens rouges" by H. Émile Chevalier is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds around the character of Guillaume Dubreuil, a captain navigating the treacherous northern seas, who faces the challenges of mutiny, survival, and encounters with indigenous peoples. The narrative appears to delve into themes of ambition, exploration, and the clash of cultures. The opening of the novel presents a tumultuous scene aboard Dubreuil's ship, the "Saint-Rémi", where discontent among the crew leads to a brewing mutiny. Following a conversation with his second-in-command Louison, the captain's harsh disciplinary measures exacerbate the tensions on board. As the crew's grievances escalate, they ultimately revolt against Dubreuil, leading to his abandonment in a small boat at the mercy of the icy ocean. This gripping beginning sets the stage for Dubreuil's subsequent adventures, as he endeavors to survive, discover lands unknown, and navigate the complexities of his encounters with the indigenous peoples of the region, particularly the Uskimé, a reference to the Inuit.
