This is Delia, daughter of the “divil DuGays,” whose personality has a wild-grape tang and sweet- ness and a fron- tler-bred strength. She is the central character in a fas- cinating novel of old Minnesota. Early andlclighe by MAUD HART LOVELACE Author of “The Black Angels” Under the walls of the fort live the DuGays, the “divil DuGays,” whose crowded cabin is ready to welcome the French settlers, soldiers, the swashbuckling, jubilant voyageurs, Sioux braves and the great fur trader and state builder, Jaspar Page. Most winning of all the DuGays is the daughter, Delia, to whom her family turns for guidance upon its eventful course. To her alone her brother, Narcisse, reveals the secret of his strange alliance with the Indians; to her in time comes Jaspar Page himself to learn a new lesson in pride. Here, if you are weary of psychological com- plexities, is a novel that you will read for the sheer delightful story, for its rich color and rush- ing movement. But it is more than this; for Mrs. Lovelace has given us a singularly fresh and vivid picture of life in the old Northwest when a little handful of people planted a civili- zation in the wilderness.
