Iroquois Patrick Prugne

Le 25 aout, les éditions Daniel Maghen publient le dernier album de Patrick Prugne : Iroquois. Après Pawnee et Frenchman, le dessinateur continue à explorer l’Histoire de l’Amérique et des Indiens lors de l’arrivée des Européens,  soldats, colons ou explorateurs. Dans ce dernier album, il se penche sur l’épopée de Samuel de Champlain, chargé par le roi de France d’explorer et de pacifier les rives du Saint-Laurent. L’enjeu de l’expédition est le contrôle du commerce des peaux avec différentes tribus, Hurons, Algonquins et Montagnais. Guidé par le Basque, un trappeur sans scrupule, Champlain s’enfonce en territoire iroquois. Il va se retrouver en plein milieu d’une guerre indienne. Une belle histoire d’aventure merveilleusement dessinée, mais avec Patrick Prugne, ce n’est pas une surprise. Jugez par vous même !

Forts of the American Revolution 1775-83 Rene Chartrand (Osprey)

Buy here and see inside. Though primarily fought in the field, the American Revolution saw fortifications play an important part in some of the key campaigns of the war. Field fortifications were developed around major towns including Boston, New York and Savannah, while the frontier forts at Stanwix, Niagara and Cumberland were to all be touched by the war. This book details all the types of fortification used throughout the conflict, the engineers on all sides who constructed and maintained them, and the actions fought around and over them.
