Publisher's Synopsis
The Silver Island Of The Chippewa is a historical novel written by Dietrich Lange and published in 1913. The story is set in the late 17th century and follows the adventures of a young French trader named Jean La Roche, who travels to the Great Lakes region of North America to trade with the Chippewa tribe. La Roche arrives at the Chippewa village on the shores of Lake Superior and is welcomed by the tribe's chief, who invites him to stay and trade with them. As La Roche becomes more involved with the tribe, he learns about their way of life and their struggles against rival tribes and European colonizers. The novel also explores the relationships between the Chippewa and the French, as well as the conflicts and misunderstandings that arise between different cultures. As La Roche becomes more integrated into the Chippewa community, he develops a deep respect for their traditions and way of life. The Silver Island Of The Chippewa is a vivid portrayal of life in the Great Lakes region during the 17th century, with detailed descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and customs of the Chippewa tribe.
