Summary "The Golden Dog" by William Kirby is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the mid-18th century, the narrative unfolds primarily in Quebec, amidst the backdrop of the colonial struggle between the French and English empires. The story features a cast of characters including Count de la Galissonière, the Governor of New France, and various military officers, as they attempt to fortify Quebec against perceived threats while navigating their social and personal lives. At the start of the novel, the Governor, Count de la Galissonière, engages in a fervent exchange with his friend, Peter Kalm, as they admire the beauty of Quebec. It is clear that the city is under threat, as knowledge of impending war between England and France looms. The count reflects on the deep commitment of the Canadians to defend their land, while discussions among officers highlight both camaraderie and the political complexities of their time. As the opening chapters progress, we meet various key characters, including Amélie de Repentigny and Colonel Philibert, whose intertwined fates suggest potential romance and tension, encapsulating the themes of loyalty, honor, and the harsh realities of war.
