Voyageurs

A Novel

BY MARGARET ELPHINSTONE

Brief Description:
Voyageurs is the story of the quest of an early 19th century English Quaker to find his sister in the wilderness of North America. Elphinstone has written both a well-researched Quaker book and a riveting adventure story. Mark Greenhow, the main character, faces challenges to his beliefs as he journeys through a world of roughneck fur traders, British spies, and embattled Native Americans. The author presents each of Mark's inward struggles sympathetically and authentically. The book is peopled with complex characters that stay with you. This book is both a thoughtful exploration of one person's ability to maintain a Quaker identity in the midst of many challenges and a page turner.
