EBOOK Afterlife of George Cartwright
Opis
In this stunning and original novel, John Steffler has recreated a lost time and place, and has given life to an enigmatic figure from Canadas 18th-century past. Described quietly by historians as soldier, diarist, entrepreneur, George Cartwright emerges in Stefflers tale as a character of overwhelming appetite and ambition. Until this time Cartwrights greatest legacy has been the place in Labrador named after him and the journal he wrote during his years there, when he lived amongst Native people and ran a successful trading post. Now his legacy becomes our own: a telling portrait of our past; a warning.From the Trade Paperback edition.
