1854
A novel written in the mid-19th century. This adventure tale follows three brothers—Basil, Lucien, and Francois—who embark on a perilous journey from the southern United States to northern Canada after the death of their father. They aim to reunite with their uncle, who works for the Hudson's Bay Company, and their expedition is filled with challenges, including navigating treacherous terrain and encountering various wildlife. At the start of the story, the brothers are introduced as seasoned young hunters who have previously sought a white buffalo. Now, facing the loss of their father, they travel northward by canoe, relying on their ingenuity and knowledge of the wilderness. As they journey through the rugged Canadian landscape, they experience physical challenges due to the harsh conditions, lose much of their supplies in a rapid, and must use their skills in woodcraft and natural history to survive. This opening sets the stage for their forthcoming adventures and the bonds that unite the brothers as they face the trials of the wilderness.
