About the Book

xtrait: I TRAGEDIE NOCTURNE Il faisait tout a fait nuit quand le chasseur arriva au lieu ou il avait dresse ses pieges la nuit precedente. C'etait un de ces sites pittoresques que l'on trouve seulement dans les chaines des montagnes Rocheuses. Des barrieres presque infranchissables, de gigantesques remparts de terre et de pierres en defendaient l'approche. Mais, si bien gardee qu'il fut par la nature, ce pertuis etait accessible a un trappeur[1], car ses yeux exerces savent decouvrir la passe la plus etroite, et sa main sait ouvrir les portes secretes des montagnes: ses pieds sont familiers avec les sentiers desoles, et les mousses des arbres, aussi bien que les etoiles du firmament, servent a diriger ses pas. [Note 1: Les Canadiens-francais designent ainsi les gens qui font la traite des pelleteries dans l'Amerique septentrionale.] Le chasseur avait gagne la gorge solitaire dont nous venons de parler par un cul-de-sac que longtemps il avait cru connu de lui seul. Mais ayant, depuis peu, perdu plusieurs pieges tendus, au fond de cette gorge, pres d'une riviere qui l'arrosait et s'echappait, en se frayant un passage a travers les masses de granit, il avait commence a ne plus se considerer comme l'unique violateur de cette profonde retraite. Arrive a sa destination il eut un mouvement de surprise et de colere, facile a concevoir, en remarquant que ses pieges avaient encore disparu. Une fois assure du fait, il se mit a fureter ca et la, autant que les tenebres pouvaient le lui permettre, pour decouvrir quelques traces des auteurs de la soustraction; mais il lui fut impossible d'obtenir la moindre preuve que le lieu eut ete visite par un blanc ou un Peau-rouge. Apres avoir reflechi un instant, le trappeur se coucha dans de hautes herbes et des plantes aquatiques sur le bord de la riviere, qui, a ce point, semblait sourdre du coeur meme des montagnes, sous une voute enorme de rochers. Notre homme s'amusa a ecouter le murmure des eaux, en se demandant comment elles avaient pu s'ouvrir une voie a travers ces blocs si compactes et si puissants. Les voiles de la nuit s'epaissirent. L'ombre parut rouler et se condenser dans le bassin jusqu'a ce qu'elle ressemblat a ces tenebres egyptiennes que l'on pouvait palper. Tout a coup, une lueur brilla sur la ravine.... Henri-Emile Chevalier, ne le 13 septembre 1828 a Chatillon-sur-Seine, mort le 26 aout 1879 a Paris, est un homme de lettres francais. Ayant porte les armes, Chevalier dut s'exiler a la suite du coup d'Etat du 2 decembre 1851, et sejourna en cette qualite aux Etats-Unis, ou il a donne des feuilletons dans le Courrier des Etats-Unis, a Montreal ou il a ecrit dans des journaux democratiques et occupe le poste de bibliothecaire de l'Institut Canadien. Pendant son sejour en Amerique, il a publie un grand nombre de romans edites a Montreal et plusieurs ouvrages sur la Geologie americaine. Il a traduit de l'anglais le Foyer canadien, de Knot, publie l'Art de la beaute paru sous le nom de Lola Montez, et donne une nouvelle edition de l'Histoire du Canada, du frere Gabriel Sagard-Theodat. Il a aussi dirige la Chasse illustree. Ayant accepte l'amnistie en 1860, il ecrivit des nouvelles dans des journaux, comme le Pays et L'Opinion nationale, et des series de romans sur les Amerindiens. Il a pris place au Conseil municipal de Paris et a fini par un enterrement civil."
