Old Kaskia Days: A Novel (1893) by Elizabeth Holbrook is a historical fiction novel set in the 18th century in the French colonial town of Kaskaskia, Illinois. The story revolves around the lives of the town's inhabitants, including the French settlers and Native Americans, and their struggles to survive in a changing world. The novel explores themes of love, loss, betrayal, and redemption. The main character, Marie, is a young woman who falls in love with a French soldier, but their relationship is threatened by the arrival of a new governor who brings with him a dark secret from Marie's past. As the town faces political turmoil and the threat of war, Marie must confront her past and make difficult choices to protect her family and the people she loves. Holbrook's vivid descriptions of life in colonial America and her attention to historical detail make this novel a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in American history or historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
