"Les derniers Peaux-Rouges: Le trésor de Montcalm" by Henri de La Blanchère is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the North American wilderness, focusing on the fate of an emigrant family and the cultural interplay between Indigenous tribes and European settlers. At its heart are the characters of Raoul de Valvert, a young French nobleman seeking a family treasure lost during the colonial conflicts, and his companion Thémistocle, an African servant. Their journey leads them into a world filled with danger, intrigue, and the remnants of a tragic past. The opening of the novel introduces a haunting valley named Champ-Rouge, steeped in Indian legend and fear, where a massacre once occurred. It recounts the grim story of a Canadian family and their Huron escorts, culminating in a tragic betrayal fueled by alcohol. This historical backdrop sets the stage for Raoul and Thémistocle, who, after a perilous encounter with hostile tribes, are taken under the wing of a trappers known as the Marcheur. As they delve deeper into the wilderness, they navigate not only the physical threats of the land but also the complex dynamics of intertribal alliances and rivalries, hinting at the broader themes of loyalty, survival, and the quest for redemption interwoven throughout the narrative.
