Description

In 1801, fourteen-year-old Pierre returns to work for the North West Fur Company and makes the long and difficult journey to a winter camp, where he learns from both the other voyageurs and from the Ojibwa Indians whose land they share. Pierre, the 14-year-old hero of "The Broken Blade", spends a winter with the North West Company in French Canada. The canoe-men build a camp beside an Ojibwa village, and Pierre learns the deep-winter survival skills and secrets of the fur traders and trappers, and friendship with an Ojibwa brave opens up a rich new world to Pierre.
