Coeur D'Alene (1894)

Coeur D'Alene is a novel written by Mary Hallock Foote, first published in 1894. The story takes place in the late 1800s in the Coeur d'Alene region of Idaho, and follows the life of a young woman named Constance Cumberland. Constance is a talented artist who moves to the area with her husband, a mining engineer named Ward. The couple quickly becomes embroiled in the political and social tensions of the region, as they navigate the conflicts between the local Native American tribes, the mining companies, and the settlers. As Constance becomes more involved in the community, she discovers a passion for activism and social justice, and becomes a voice for the marginalized and oppressed. Along the way, she also grapples with personal challenges, including her strained relationship with her husband and her conflicting desires for artistic fulfillment and social responsibility. Coeur D'Alene is a richly detailed and evocative portrayal of life in the American West during a time of great change and upheaval. Foote's writing is both poetic and precise, capturing the beauty and brutality of the landscape and the complexity of the human experience. The novel is a powerful exploration of the intersections of art, politics, and identity, and a testament to the resilience and courage of those who dare to stand up for what they believe in.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
