This is a fictional account of the genocide of the people of La Vendee during the French Revolution of 1789. It is said that more than one million men, women and children in La Vendee were ruthlessly killed by the French Republic because La Vendee refused to give up their Catholic religion and bow before the secular revolutionary government. G. A. Henty was a popular British writer of books for boys in the late 19th Century. He also wrote of American and other heroes of various ages. This book is the third in a series of "Books For Boys" by various authors who promote the cause of manhood, courage, devotion to the cause, patriotism and the Christian Faith. Tales of honor, devotion, valor, derring-do and fights against all odds are what help make a male a man. They provide strong masculine stereotypes to enable boys to gain the mental and physical strength to fight for and carry on our great Western Christian heritage, and in turn hand it on to their children and children's children.
