E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net)
"The Road to Frontenac" by Samuel Merwin is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Captain Daniel Menard, a soldier in New France, as he navigates the complexities of military life and relationships in the context of conflicts with the Iroquois. The book delves into themes of duty, social interactions, and the tension inherent in colonial frontiers. At the start of the novel, we meet Captain Menard as he observes a tumultuous scene involving captured Indians below the citadel of Quebec. The opening provides a glimpse into Menard's contemplative nature as he reflects on the strategic and personal implications of the governor's recent policies towards the Iroquois and his own role within the larger campaign against them. As the narrative progresses, Menard is tasked with escorting Mademoiselle St. Denis to Fort Frontenac, alongside Father Claude and Lieutenant Danton, establishing the dynamic between these characters and hinting at the challenges they will face during their journey. The interplay of relationships and the unfolding events set the stage for a compelling exploration of frontier life and the intricacies of human interaction against a backdrop of conflict.
