Produktinformationen zu „Madeleine Takes Command (ePub)“
WORKING with feverish haste, Madeleine selected muskets, pistols, powder and bullets. The sight of a man's hat, an old one that had belonged to her father, lying on a powder cask, gave her an idea. She pulled off her linen cap and put on the hat. It was not too large over her heavy hair, and, seen above the pickets, it would deceive the Indians. She was adjusting powder horn and bullet pouch when Louis and Alexandre ran in with Laviolette at their heels."e;Arm yourselves quickly,"e; Madeleine ordered."e;What is your plan, Ma'm'selle?"e; the old soldier inquired."e;To defend the seigneury to the last. The little children must stay in the blockhouse and their mothers with them. That leaves only six of us to guard the palisades. We must try to make the Mohawks believe that we have a strong garrison. If they attack, we can only do our best. We are fighting for our people-what there are left of them-for our country and our faith. Let us fight to the death if need be."e;AND SO MADELEINE and her small force begin their harrowing vigil-hoping against all hope that help will come in time.
Autoren-Porträt von Ethel C. Brill
Ethel Claire Brill (January 19, 1877 - November, 1962) was an American book reviewer and author.Born the youngest of three children in St. Paul, Minnesota to English-Canadian parents, Brill graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Literature degree in 1899, a noteworthy achievement for a woman of her generation. At the time of her graduation, she was a book reviewer for a local newspaper, a task she did for various publications over the course of her writing career, with a specialization in reviewing books pertinent to the geography and history of Minnesota and Great Lakes regions.
She is best known to modern readers for her exciting tale of New France, Madeleine Takes Command¿the portrayal of an historical happening quite likely inspired by her own family's roots in this area of Canada. Her other meticulously researched books, both historical adventures and more factual accounts, all depict a similar deep interest in her history of the Northwest¿Minnesota, the Great Lakes regions of Wisconsin, Michigan, and over into the Dakotas and parts of central Canada.
She died in 1962 at the age of 85 in her home state of Minnesota.
