"The Romance of Dollard" by Mary Hartwell Catherwood is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and exploits of Adam Dollard, a French hero in colonial Canada, focusing on his adventures and the relationships he forms in a land fraught with danger and cultural contrasts. This tale weaves together elements of romance, adventure, and historical themes set against the backdrop of New France. The opening of the narrative introduces us to a vibrant scene in Quebec on a spring day in 1660 as two young men walk through the town following the arrival of a ship from France filled with new settlers, including women destined for marriage. One of the men, Dollard, is portrayed as a strong and enthusiastic leader with aspirations that seem to deal with not just settling but finding a partner to build a life with amid the challenges posed by the Iroquois and the wilderness. Interspersed with discussions about the newcomers and their fates are glimpses of Dollard's thoughts on duty, love, and the uncertain future that awaits both him and his companion Jacques as they navigate the turbulent realities of life in New France. The narrative hints at romance and adventure that promises to unfold as the characters confront their destinies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
