Résumé

Résumé : "A Little Girl in Old Pittsburg" by Amanda Minnie Douglas is a historical novel set during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on the life of a young girl named Daffodil Carrick. The story begins with the announcement of Lord Cornwallis's surrender, a pivotal moment that brings hope to the American colonies. Daffodil, affectionately called Dilly, lives with her mother Barbe, her great-grandfather Pierre Duvernay, and her grandparents, the Bradins, in a small settlement near Fort Pitt. Her father, Bernard Carrick, has been away fighting in the war, leaving the family to navigate the challenges of frontier life. The narrative explores the dynamics within the Carrick family, highlighting the contrasting loyalties and cultural backgrounds that shape their interactions. Daffodil's grandfather, Sandy Carrick, is a staunch supporter of the British, while her maternal grandfather, Marc Bradin, supports the American cause. This tension is a backdrop to Daffodil's personal journey as she grapples with her father's absence and the anticipation of his return. When Bernard finally returns, the family is overjoyed, but Daffodil experiences mixed emotions. Her father's war-worn appearance and the changes in her family dynamics challenge her childhood perceptions. The novel delves into themes of loyalty, identity, and the impact of war on families, capturing the essence of a young girl's coming-of-age during a transformative period in American history. Douglas's portrayal of life in early Pittsburg is rich with historical detail, offering readers a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a community on the brink of change. Through Daffodil's eyes, the novel presents a nuanced exploration of family bonds and the enduring spirit of resilience.
