New Francis Back tribute

Cap-aux-Diamants

Histoire du Québec

Numéro 133 – printemps 2018

Le numéro du printemps de Cap-aux-Diamants est un hommage à l’illustrateur Francis Back, décédé l’automne dernier, dont les thèmes fétiches étaient l’histoire de l’Amérique et de ses peuples français, autochtones et métis. En introduction du numéro, Yves Beauregard, historien et directeur de la revue, souligne à juste titre la précieuse collaboration et l’amitié qui l’unissait à Francis Back, auteur de plusieurs articles et illustrateur de plus d’une couverture de Cap-aux-Diamants. D’ailleurs, c’est son illustration Les Montréalistes qui orne la une de ce numéro dans lequel vous pourrez lire sur sa carrière sous la plume d’Éric Major, et sur son apport à l’histoire militaire sous celle de René Chartrand et Luce Vermette. D’autres textes traitent de façon plus large du travail de caricaturistes et d'illustrateurs ayant précédé Back. Il est entre autres question de la place de la femme dans la bande dessinée et des dessins d’Albéric Bourgeois durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.

When the Redskins Rode 1951

Full movie here
In 1753, Colonel George Washington and frontiersman Christopher Gist are proudly introducing their protégé, Delaware Indian Prince Hannoc to Williamsburg, Virginia society. French spy Elizabeth Leeds romances Hannoc, hoping to swing the Delawares to the French side in the impending colonial war. Hannoc saves Washington and his men from a French trap during a peace mission. When Hannoc's father, Chief Shingiss, comes to Williamsburg to sign a mutual defense pact with the British, he is murdered by French spies. Hannoc and Indian maiden Morna unmask Miss Leeds as a spy just as war breaks out, with Washington and his troops besieged at Fort Necessity.
