The Three Pebbles
Dublin Core
Abstract
This novel follows the journey of three French boys, all named Pierre, who travel to the New World as part of a colonizing voyage - one of France's first attempts at establishing a settlement in the Western Hemisphere. Pierre Debré, who tells the story, recounts the colonists' struggles to build Fort Caroline, their new home, such as farming in an unfamiliar environment, and encounters with the native peoples in the region.
