Wacousta

Karpe Diez

A 19c novel about the 18c conflict between the first nations coalition lead by chief Pontiac against Canadian forces stationed inside Detroit fort. The story assumes that the conflict was masterminded by Wacousta, an ex- British army officer turned into a vicious and powerful warrior with a vengence against the fort commander. This is a story about lack of empathy, communication and strategy in approaching a totally new nation on their own territory. The book is well written and brings value as the first Canadian historic novel: there are areas in the storyline where the author attempts to bring into view both sides` point of view.
