Description

---

Based on true events, this novel recounts the early history of North America in modern accessible language. The third installment of the series continues Radisson’s adventures with the Jesuits and the Iroquois. Radisson’s skills in diplomacy are tested, as he tempers the ardour of the Jesuits and calms the arrogant and distrustful French traders, and cultivates friendships with the Iroquois who favour peace. Courage, diplomacy, love, and conspiracy make for an action-packed adventure in a little-known past.

"Author Martin Fournier, a historian whose specialty is Pierre-Esprit Radisson, has endeavoured to bring to modern young adult readers an essential component of Canadian history, and his description of a world over 300 years ago is to be commended... It should be a gripping tale." —Resource Links

"Fournier is recognized as a specialist on this historic figure whom he has brought to life in his three young adult novels . . . The author skilfully blends action with information about the Eastern woodland natives' way of life, including their political arrangements . . . Fournier presents both the Iroquois and the French points of view fairly. The characters are well drawn . . . Highly Recommended." —Ruth Latta, umanitoba.ca
