Summary "Les Nez-Percés" by Émile Chevalier is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book revolves around themes of adventure, conflict, and cultural encounters, set against the backdrop of the early interactions between Native American tribes and European settlers. The key character introduced early in the book is Poignet-d'Acier, a determined adventurer driven by vengeance and ambition, alongside his companion, the eccentric trapper Nick Whiffles. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Poignet-d'Acier and Nick Whiffles as they engage in a humorous dialogue about a heavy bag filled with gold. Poignet-d'Acier is preparing for a significant journey motivated by a quest for revenge against the British and a desire to reclaim what he has lost. The scene shifts dramatically when they realize that the Nez-Percés tribe has attacked the ship where Poignet-d'Acier's crew is situated, leading to a brutal confrontation between the tribes and the ship's crew. This setup establishes an intense atmosphere of impending conflict, highlighting the struggles and motivations of the characters while setting the stage for the unfolding drama between the European settlers and Native Americans.
