Alice of Old Vincennes


Read by Celine Major

(3.9 stars; 9 reviews)

This entertaining book of adventure, love and war was a Bestseller in 1900 and 1901. The heroine Alice Roussillon is a brave young woman who grew up in a small town on the Wabash River in Indiana during the revolutionary war. The characters are all distinctive and compelling. It gives a great insight into the frontier life of that era and includes true historical accounts and personages such as the wicked Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton and George Rogers Clarke who was responsible for expelling the British from Fort Sackville in Vincennes in 1779.
From the foreword: " "Accept, then, this book, which to those who care only for history will seem but an idle romance, while to the lovers of romance it may look strangely like the mustiest history."

Reviews


(5 stars)

Charming, delightful and inspiring historical fiction. The content and delivery is outstanding. A forgotten genre these days of wokeness.

Cannot Listen!

The voice of the narrator is too terrible.
