Ouabache is the old French spelling of Wabash, the Algonquin word
waapaahsiiki, the name the Miami Indians gave to the river that
runs through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. This is a novel about life
in the valley during the French Colonial period. It has been over
three centuries since the first of these French-speaking
adventurers paddled their canoes down the Wabash River and the
details of their everyday lives are still largely a mystery. Based
on a mix of facts and folklore Ouabache is the story of a boy and
his mother struggling to find their place on the frontier of French
Colonial North America. Featuring actual events and characters from
history the story follows Charlotte and her son La'Havre from the
Mississippi Delta to the Wabash River Valley painting a vivid
picture of life among the French and Native people who occupied the
land in the eighteenth century.
