Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Wacousta: a tale of the Pontiac conspiracy — Volume 3" by Major Richardson is a novel first published in 1832. Set during Pontiac's uprising, this early work of Canadian historical fiction explores tensions between wilderness and civilization, prophecy and cultural conflict. British settlers huddle within a fort as dangers lurk beyond its walls. The novel competed with Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans" but takes a broader view of cross-cultural motivations, making it a seminal work in Canadian literature.
