EDITORS COMMENTS
The Defender of Vercheres: A Portrait of Bravery in Stormy Weather". This photo print, titled "The Defender of Vercheres" showcases a remarkable illustration from "The Romance of Canada" by W. R. S. Stott. The artwork captures the essence of an extraordinary young girl named Marie-Madeleine Jarret De Vercheres, who became a symbol of courage and resilience in New France during the 17th century. In this vivid depiction, Marie-Madeleine stands tall amidst a torrential downpour, her determined gaze fixed upon an unseen enemy. Armed with a rifle and musket, she embodies unwavering bravery as she defends Fort Vercheres against attacking Iroquois warriors. At just 14 years old, Marie-Madeleine's ingenuity and resourcefulness played a pivotal role in thwarting the raid on Fort Vercheres. Her heroic actions not only saved countless lives but also showcased her indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to protecting her community. This portrait beautifully captures the strength and determination that defined Marie-Madeleine's character. It serves as a testament to her exceptional bravery and highlights the crucial role she played in defending her people against adversity. As we admire this stunning image, let us remember Marie-Madeleine Jarret De Vercheres as an inspiring figure whose legacy continues to inspire generations with tales of heroism and resilience in the face of danger.
