About the Book

Nearly 150 Years Before The Lewis And Clark Expedition, Two Intrepid French Canadians, Pierre-Esprit Radisson And His Brother-in-law, Medard, Sieur Des Groseilliers, Embark On An Equally Important Western Adventure From Three Rivers, New France That Culminates In Their Co-founding The Hudson's Bay Company...Canadian Sunrise chronicles the adventures of these notorious rascals as it depicts violent cultural clashes that occurred in 17th century New France and its western environs. Painstakingly researched, this historical novel places the reader in many disparate worlds-in the villages of the French and the First People of this continent; in Peter Stuyvesant's diverse free port of New Amsterdam; on the frigid waters of Hudson Bay and inside its raucous trading posts; in the throes of the London Plague of 1666; in the intrigue-ridden Oxford and Windsor courts of Charles II; in taverns frequented by Samuel Pepys, Prince Rupert, and the shareholders of the Hudson's Bay Company; in the court of Louis XIV; and in the cloisters of ruthless Jesuit and Recollect priests who attempt to corner the fur trade and indoctrinate the Indians. Following Radisson's Mohawk captivity and escape, an action-packed voyage to the shores of Lake Superior, and an arduous journey to the frigid waters of Hudson Bay comprise the early action. A rebuff by the Court of Louis XIV finally convinces Radisson and Des Groseilliers to enter the service of the English and the fledgling Hudson's Bay Company. Filled with brisk dialogue and lush natural description which bring this colorful era to life, Canadian Sunrise is stocked with an assortment of savory characters that includes frontier women who often outshine their male counterparts.
