About the Book

Extrait: CHAPITRE PREMIER LA VEUVE INDIENNE ET SES MARIS La nuit est noire, profonde: rares sont les etoiles qui, comme des diamants fixes a un dais de velours bleu fonce, scintillent ca et la dans l'immensite des cieux. Pas un rayon de lune pour eclairer l'espace. Cependant des bruits etranges, des chants bizarres s'elevent du mont Baker, limite septentrionale de la chaine des Cascades, dans la Nouvelle-Caledonie. Cette chaine, composee de collines reliees par les pics Baker, Rainier1 Sainte-Helene, Hood, Jefferson et Jackson, ourle le littoral du Pacifique, a quelque vingt lieues des cotes, et se deploie presque parallelement a elles, comme un arc, dont les monts Saint-Helene et Jefferson formeraient les sommets, le mont Hood le point d'appui pour ajuster la fleche. Note 1: (retour) C'est l'orthographe exacte du nom que, par erreur, j'ai quelquefois appele Ramer dans mes precedents ouvrages. Situees au 122 de longitude, les Cascades s'etendent du 49 latitude N. au 43 S. Le Rio-Columbia les coupe en deux parties a peu pres egales. On peut leur assigner comme bornes, en haut, la baie Bellingham, dans le golfe de Georgie, vis a vis de l'ile Vancouver, et en bas la riviere Smiths, qui se verse dans l'Ocean. Ces bornes ne sont toutefois pas definitives, car apres avoir semble se perdre dans les vallees spacieuses, les Cascades reparaissent plus robustes, plus sourcilleuses que jamais et projettent d'un cote leur tete chenue jusque sous le pole, tandis que, par le mont Shaste, elles descendent jusqu'en Californie, baigner leurs pieds aux ondes du Sacramento. Plusieurs des pics qui, de meme que des sentinelles geantes, les dominent de distance en distance, sont volcaniques et sujets a des eruptions frequentes: de ce nombre, le Baker, haut de 10,700 pieds anglais. Tout d'un coup, les sons qui montaient a sa base cesserent. Il se fit un silence solennel, a peine trouble par le fremissement des feuillages au souffle de la brise. On eut dit que la solitude etait complete, dans ces regions incultes et lointaines. Mais, soudain, une flamme claire, petillante, jaillit a travers les tenebres: .... Henri-Emile Chevalier, ne le 13 septembre 1828 a Chatillon-sur-Seine, mort le 26 aout 1879 a Paris, est un homme de lettres francais. Ayant porte les armes, Chevalier dut s'exiler a la suite du coup d'Etat du 2 decembre 1851, et sejourna en cette qualite aux Etats-Unis, ou il a donne des feuilletons dans le Courrier des Etats-Unis, a Montreal ou il a ecrit dans des journaux democratiques et occupe le poste de bibliothecaire de l'Institut Canadien. Pendant son sejour en Amerique, il a publie un grand nombre de romans edites a Montreal et plusieurs ouvrages sur la Geologie americaine. Il a traduit de l'anglais le Foyer canadien, de Knot, publie l'Art de la beaute paru sous le nom de Lola Montez, et donne une nouvelle edition de l'Histoire du Canada, du frere Gabriel Sagard-Theodat. Il a aussi dirige la Chasse illustree. Ayant accepte l'amnistie en 1860, il ecrivit des nouvelles dans des journaux, comme le Pays et L'Opinion nationale, et des series de romans sur les Amerindiens. Il a pris place au Conseil municipal de Paris et a fini par un enterrement civil."
