About This Book

A first-person account describes a violent clash in New France in which the sagamore Membertou and his allies seize an opportunity to ambush the Armouchiquois after the killing of a friendly trader. The text reconstructs prewar negotiations, a deliberate ruse involving concealed warriors and a trumpet signal, the course of the fight and its turning points, and the heavy losses on both sides. Interwoven are observations of mourning and burial customs, methods for treating wounds, lists of personal names, and a celebratory poem honoring Membertou, combining battlefield narrative with ethnographic detail and moral reflection.
