Produktbeschreibung

It is 1745 and Quebec City reigns as the capital of New France. When an abandoned infant is found and delivered to a French-Canadian couple, they adopt and name her Karen Bluejeans. As she is baptized, no one realizes that the Mic-Mak Indian girl will one day fulfill an important destiny.

Some nine years later as the French and Indian war unofficially begins, the rogue Bishop Levele spews hatred and untruths to students at a convent school that includes Karen Bluejeans. As she matures and eventually falls in love with captured Royal Marine Major Jack Wales, he plants a love of democracy and brotherhood in her heart. After plotting an escape to inform British Major General James Wolfe of a secret passage that opens on the riverbank and climbs towering cliffs to the Plain of Abraham outside the walls of Quebec City. Karen Bluejeans delivers the intelligence. Wolfe sneaks his army up the secret passage. After a battle of only around eleven minutes he defeats France's forces, virtually winning the war that gives birth to the British Empire and prompts the English language to become the dominant word in the New World.

Karen Bluejeans (Pathway to Glory) is the historical tale of a Mic-Mak Indian teenager's experiences as she is unwittingly caught up in the French and Indian War.
