About this eBook

Author Aimard, Gustave, 1818-1883
Title The frontiersmen : A novel
Credits Produced by Christine Bell, Camille Bernard and Marc D'Hooghe
Summary "The Frontiersmen" by Gustave Aimard is a novel written in the mid-19th century. Set in the wilderness of Western New York around the time of the American Revolutionary War, the story centers on the lives of pioneers and their interactions with Native American tribes, particularly the Iroquois. The narrative hints at themes of exploration, conflict, and survival, highlighting the dual aspects of adventure and peril experienced by individuals determined to carve out a life in the untamed landscape. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to the vast and uncharted territory of Western New York post-Revolution, focusing on the characters Ralph Weston, a noble and romantic young traveler, and his companion Ichabod Jenkins, a more pragmatic and self-interested frontiersman. As they navigate the wilderness, they encounter remnants of civilization and the prevailing presence of Native Americans, specifically the Oneida tribe. The early chapters explore their journey, the beauty of the land, and the complex dynamics between settlers and indigenous peoples while hinting at forthcoming tensions and challenges, setting the stage for an adventure filled with danger and potential.
