Henri-Émile Chevalier (1828–1879) was a French writer and journalist. In his work he followed the traditions of Fenimore Cooper, Mine Reed and his compatriot Gustav Aimard. Even by the titles of his books, one can already get an idea of their content: “Captain” (1878), “Black Hunter” (1877), “Daughter of the Red Indians” (1882), “The Last Iroquois”, “Hell and Heaven of Another World” ", "The Pirate's Daughter", "The Gallows", "Sandy Island", "Jacques Cartier", "Redskins and Palefaces", etc. Many of the listed works were published after the death of the writer. The action-packed western "Blackfoot", published in This volume takes place in the 19th century in the American northwest and Canada. It contains everything for which we love the works of F. Cooper and M. Reed so much - deceit and love, nobility and betrayal, clashes with bandits, traps, kidnappings. A whirlwind of passions, where pale-faces fight with pale-faces, and red-skins fight against everyone, defending their land.
