In 1761, fourteen years after leaving Medowktek (Meductic), David Cameron returns as he had promised his friend Tomah, Chief of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet).
The English authorities warn him not to travel beyond St. Anne (Fredericton) on the St. John River (Wolastoq), but he ignores them. With Tomah as his ally, he pushes upriver all the way to the Acadian settlement at Madawaska in search of Jeanne Chartier, whom he had met fourteen years earlier and has never forgotten.
The author unfolds a dramatic story of historic injustice, dangerous conflict, and a devastating crisis in the Acadian settlement. Through it all, David is slowly able to reveal to Jeanne the reason he has come to Madawaska.
In this gripping sequel to David Cameron's Adventures, George Frederick Clarke brings the saga of David Cameron and Chief Tomah to a fully realised and satisfying conclusion. (Note: this book was first published in 1950 as Return to Acadia.)
George Frederick Clarke (1883-1974) is one of New Brunswick's best-known writers. He lived in Woodstock his whole life and published thirteen books.
Chapel Street Editions is republishing Clarke's books under the editorial direction of his granddaughter and biographer, Mary Bernard.
