Synopsis

Blood and Honor takes you to the frontier of North America in the 1700s. There you will witness events through the eyes of French fur trader Pierre-Louis de Lorimier. This is the first novel about his colorful life –from his birth near Montreal, Canada in 1748, to his death in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in 1812.

Watch him trade with Native tribes. Travel with him as he and Native warriors raid Kentucky settlements. Share in the capture of Daniel Boone, and be present when his trading post is looted and burned under orders from George Rogers Clark. Sit at the Lorimier dinner table in Cape Girardeau with Meriwether Lewis and Lorimier’s nephew George Drouillard. Meet Lorimier’s Shawnee wife Charlotte de Bougainville, and learn about the famous father she never knew. These events and more will take you back to a time when the country was new and the frontier was wild.
