Beschreibung:
Samuel Douglass Smith Huyghue (1816-1891) was born in PEI but educated in Saint John, New Brunswick. An 1830s-50s contributor of poetry, fiction, and essays to the Halifax Morning Post, the Saint John Amaranth, and London¿s Bentley¿s Miscellany, he emigrated to Australia in 1851. There he was known as an artist and author of The Ballarat Riots.
Valorizing his Mi'kmaq protagonist, Argimou, and using European/aboriginal conflicts of 1755 as a literary catalyst, Huyghue plunges his protagonists into a Maritime captivity tale-journey of natural & human dangers. The novel ends as it began with Huyghue/Argimou mourning the loss of aboriginal autonomy as the "white gull had flown over all."
