Wacousta: Penguin Modern Classics Edition
Description:
NOW A PENGUIN MODERN CLASSIC: Twining revenge tragedy with gothic romance, John Richardson's Wacousta is a story of betrayal, false identity, and wasted love during one of the most violent episodes in the history of the Canadian frontier.
On the northwest frontier in 1763, a mysterious man named Wacousta lies at the heart of a violent attack on the British garrison Fort Detroit. Consumed by a thirst for vengeance that borders on madness, this monstrous figure assists Pontiac's Indian alliance to satisfy a deeply personal vendetta--one whose roots stretch back across decades and continents. Thrilling and suspenseful, Wacousta creates a world of deception and terror in which motive is ambiguous and the boundary between order and anarchy unclear.
