Madeleine Takes Command

by Bruce Adams Illustrator, Ethel C. Brill Author

Madeleine Verchere's story is based on a true account of colonial French Canada of the 1690's. Fourteen-year-old Madeleine is left alone with two younger brothers at the Verchere family's fort and few others when the Iroquois Indians attack. We follow the brave and determined stratagems of Madeleine and her small circle.
