Summary "In Paths of Peril: A Boy's Adventures in Nova Scotia" by J. Macdonald Oxley is a historical novel written in the early 20th century, likely during the early 1900s. This book chronicles the adventurous life of a young boy named Raoul de Bernon who, along with his aunt Constance, escapes from the persecution faced by Huguenots in France to start anew in the wilds of Nova Scotia. The novel explores their experiences with adventure, survival, and personal growth in the challenging yet beautiful new world. Set against the backdrop of early colonial life in Canada, the story follows Raoul as he navigates various adventures, including bear hunting, encounters with Indigenous tribes, and thrilling moments during conflicts over territory and resources. His uncle, Charles La Tour, plays an essential role in the narrative as a trader and leader, while Constance embodies the spirit of compassion and determination, often serving as the moral compass for Raoul. As they face external threats from rivals and internal struggles, Raoul matures, learns valuable life lessons, and develops a strong sense of identity and purpose. The book highlights themes of bravery, loyalty, and the harsh realities of life in a frontier environment, making it a captivating read for fans of adventure and historical fiction.
