About the Book

Pierre René Marie Henri Moulin du Coudray de La Blanchère (1821, La Flèche - 1880, Le Havre) est un naturaliste et photographe français. Biographie Il fait ses études à l'École nationale des eaux et forêts et devient garde forestier. En 1848, il fait des études de chimie à Nantes et se consacre dès lors aux poissons et à la pêche. En 1855, il s'installe à Paris et s'initie à la photographie auprès de Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884). Il fut un des premiers savants français à appliquer la photographie à ses recherches d'histoire naturelle. Il réalise des ouvrages d'histoire naturelle (notamment sur les poissons) illustrés par ses photographies mais aussi des ouvrages consacrés à la photo. Extrait I.--LE CHAMP-ROUGE. Un peu à l'ouest du lac canadien d'Abbitibbé, entre le fleuve du même nom et le grand contrefort qui, partant des montagnes Rocheuses, vient aboutir au cap Charles, se trouve un petit vallon entouré de rochers et célèbre dans les traditions indiennes. Les Peaux-Rouges, restes des puissantes nations des Hurons, des Iroquois et des Algonquins, n'en prononcent encore aujourd'hui le nom qu'avec une sorte de terreur superstitieuse. Nous voulons parler du Champ-Rouge. D'où vient ce nom? quel souvenir éveille-t-il dans l'imagination des tribus errantes? Nul Européen ne le sait, car les Indiens, défiants par expérience et taciturnes par tempérament, ne livrent pas volontiers aux visages pâles le secret de leurs traditions. Cependant, si vous interrogiez avec patience les plus vieux sorciers ou médecins des tribus, et si ces vénérables vieillards, dépositaires de la sagesse des aïeux, daignaient condescendre à desserrer les lèvres, voici à peu près ce que vous pourriez apprendre: "Un jour--il y a bien des lunes de cela--une famille d'émigrants canadiens, poussée par le désir d'accroître son bien-être, parcourait le désert à la recherche d'une terre à défricher et d'un endroit convenable pour établir une nouvelle habitation. Elle était escortée par une troupe d'une trentaine d'Indiens hurons, sous les ordres d'un chef iroquois nommé Griffe-d'Ours. Celui-ci avait fait alliance avec les Canadiens et promis de leur céder une partie du désert à leur convenance sur les bords de l'Abbitibbé. En échange, les visages pâles s'engageaient à fournir à la tribu des Iroquois trente mesures de blé par an, à recevoir les peaux de bisons que les Indiens voudraient apporter, à les amener et à les vendre sur les marchés américains, et à en rapporter le prix soit en argent, soit en objets dont les Indiens feraient commande. "Après quelques jours de marche, la petite troupe se trou va réunie au fond d'un vallon entouré de rochers et situé à quelque distance de l'Abbitibbé....
