The Lost Dauphin: Louis XVII Or Onwarenhiiaki, The Indian Iroquois Chief is a historical novel written by Augusta De Grasse Stevens and published in 1887. The book tells the story of Louis-Charles, the second son of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette of France, who was imprisoned during the French Revolution and believed to have died in captivity. However, the novel proposes an alternative theory that Louis-Charles was actually rescued by an Indian Iroquois chief named Onwarenhiiaki and raised as his own son.The novel is set in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and follows the life of Louis-Charles, who is renamed Onontio by the Iroquois tribe. The book describes his upbringing and education in the ways of the Iroquois, as well as his eventual return to France and attempts to reclaim his rightful place as the heir to the French throne. Along the way, Louis-Charles encounters various historical figures, such as Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington.The Lost Dauphin is a work of historical fiction that blends real-life events with imaginative storytelling. It offers a unique perspective on the French Revolution and the fate of the royal family, as well as a glimpse into the culture and traditions of the Iroquois people. The book is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in history, royalty, or Native American culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
