| 520 | _a"Alice of Old Vincennes" by Maurice Thompson is a historical romance written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the early days of Indiana's statehood at the settlement of Vincennes along the Wabash River, intertwining themes of adventure, community, and romance through the experiences of a young girl named Alice Roussillon. Embedded within this tale is a rich depiction of frontier life in a time that challenges both love and loyalty amidst the backdrop of historical events. The opening of the novel introduces us to Alice Roussillon as she playfully interacts with her friend, Jean, under the iconic cherry tree of her home, which represents a bygone era of the settlement. Gaspard Roussillon, Alice’s guardian, is portrayed as a man of influence and respect within the community, while the story reveals the unique challenges and societal norms of the rugged life on the American frontier. As Alice demonstrates her spirited nature, showcasing her strength and independence, we also meet Father Beret, a kind priest who wishes to guide her toward faith despite the complexities of her upbringing. The story foreshadows adventures and themes of love and duty, particularly as political tensions rise, hinting that Alice's journey will intertwine her life with significant historical events and the struggles of those around her.
