Author Ballantyne, R. M. (Robert Michael), 1825-1894
Title The Red Man's Revenge: A Tale of The Red River Flood
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "The Red Man's Revenge: A Tale of The Red River Flood" by R. M. Ballantyne is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story likely revolves around the life and challenges faced by the settlers near the Red River, particularly during the catastrophic flood of 1826, as well as a subplot involving a kidnapping by a Native American character named Petanawaquat. Central to the narrative are the interactions among settlers, led by Samuel Ravenshaw and his family, providing a glimpse into frontier life in Canada. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Samuel Ravenshaw and his family living on the banks of the Red River during a harsh winter. Samuel is characterized as both irascible and proud of his daughter Elsie's beauty. Their domestic life is lively, with their son, Victor, preparing for a shooting match with friends. An unexpected encounter with Petanawaquat, a local Native American, sets the stage for a brewing tension between the settlers and the indigenous population, foreshadowing a conflict that arises from misunderstandings and cultural clashes. With the establishment of these familial and community dynamics, the opening lays the foundation for themes of survival, cultural conflict, and the exploration of human character under duress.
