HENRI'S REGRET by Pegg Thomas, Reviewed by Paula Shreckhise


Forts of Refuge Prequel

Riveting novella that tells the background of Henri Geroux and his trip by canoe from Fort Detroit through two of the Great Lakes, past Mackinac Island and on to Green Bay in 1761 after the French and Indian War.

It chronicled the hardships of Henri and his Ottawa friend Dances Away and their encounter, capture and escape from the Lakota while trapping beaver. They are welcomed into a friendly Potawatomi camp and discover a foe in their midst. The author spins an informative story about early settlers that included triumphs and tragedy and searching for faith.

Very good historical information.
*I downloaded this ebook from Bookfunnel. All opinions are mine alone.*5 stars and an underlying faith thread.

BackCover Blurb:
Frenchman Henri Geroux can't sign the oath of loyalty to the British after the end of the French and Indian War. He leaves his home behind and sets out on an adventure with his Ottawa friend, Dances Away. But heading west to trap beaver doesn't mean he outruns his problems. Faced with a dangerous journey into an unknown land, he and Dances Away get caught up in more than they'd bargained for.
