Project Gutenberg 2006-03-18 Public domain in the USA. 149 Ogilvy, Maud Marie Gourdon A Romance of the Lower St. Lawrence E-text prepared by Robert Cicconetti, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Marie Gourdon: A Romance of the Lower St. Lawrence" by Maud Ogilvy is a historical romance written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Canadian history, particularly focusing on the aftermath of the disbanding of a Scottish regiment and the intermingling of Scottish and French cultures in the Lower St. Lawrence region. The narrative introduces Ivan McAllister, a passionate young Scotsman, who defies his father's wishes to join the rebellion led by Prince Charlie, amidst familial conflict and loyalty to his heritage. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage with a dramatic conflict inside Dunmorton Castle on a stormy night in 1745, where a quarrel erupts between Ivan McAllister and his father, The McAllister, regarding Ivan's decision to support the young Pretender to the Scottish throne. As the dialogue unfolds, the tension highlights themes of loyalty, honor, and individual choice, with Ivan ultimately choosing his own path over familial obligation. The narrative then transitions to introduce the scenic and tranquil life in the village of Rimouski, capturing the contrast between the turbulent past and the serene present, while also hinting at connections and relationships that are yet to develop as the story progresses.
