Where the Ghost Horse Runs (Red River Trilogy)

In 1750, the Mohawk Valley was a heaven of peace and plenty. Indians and Englishmen lived in amity and harvested the same rich land. But Tskleleli, the little bird of rumor, sang of trouble coming. Sage Canienga counselors sought to prepare for future troubles by sending a daughter of the Wolf Clan to boarding school to learn English ways and help her people understand the white man. When Molly Brant came home, her intelligence and beauty attracted the King's own man in the Valley -- William Johnson, rich, powerful, and famed for his amours. But then the American Revolution erupted, and William Johnson died, leaving Molly to take up her mantle as councillor and liaison to the white man's world. As the bitter war turned son against father, brother against brother, the Iroquois Nations made the fateful choice to side with the British . . . .

In an historical novel set in 1885, the mixed-blood people of the Ottawa plains are being swindled out of their land by a corrupt government, and Gabriel Dumont and his wife, Madelaine, fight back. Reprint.

Three centuries ago on the coast of Nova Scotia intrepid Frenchmen built a wealthy fur-trading colony they called Acadia. On one side of the beautiful Baye Françoise reigned aristocratic Sicur d'Aulnay. On the other, the rebel Charles La Tour and his wife, a retired actress, held sway. There was fierce enmity between them, and in France, wily old Cardinal Richelieu was pleased that it should be so. But to the Acadians the escalating violence brought only fear and suffering. And before long, La Tour and d'Aulnay *and everyone they each held dear *were to be trapped in the machinery of hatred they had set in motion. . . . ACADIA is the thrilling true story of real men and women *ancestors of the Louisiana Cajuns *who gambled on a dream and an unforeseeable destiny. It is distinguished historical novelist Alfred Silver's finest work.

Eulalie's life seems laid out ahead of her, as does Corporal Cully Robin's, but an alternate plot is about to change their lives irrevocably. With the looming war between France and England, the Governor of Nova Scotia removes the Acadian people from the land they've lived on for generations and disperses them throughout the colonies to the south. Suddenly, even the simplest expectations are thrown into doubt as they struggle to survive, love and find their way home in the face of obstacles they could never have imagined.
