CHAPTER XXII 1790-1810 “THE COMING OF THE PEDLARS” CONTINUED--HENRY’S ADVENTURES AT PEMBINA--THE FIRST WHITE WOMAN IN THE WEST--A STOLEN CHILD AND A POISONER AND A SCOUT--HOW HARMON FOUND A WIFE--THE STORY OF MARGUERITE TROTTIER.

Marguerite Trottier was in the canoe with Jutras, and the French were advancing, light of heart as usual, passing down Qu’ Appelle River toward the Assiniboine.

Jutras and the remaining man lost their heads so completely they sprang to mid-waist in the water, waded ashore, and dashed in hiding through the high grass for the nearest fort, forgetting the girl wife, Marguerite Trottier, and a child six months old.

The adventures of Marguerite Trottier are taken from two sources: from McDonald of Garth’s Journal (Masson Journals) and from the Abbé Dugas’ Legends.
