Batiste of Isle La Motte: His Trubbles is a book written by Daniel T. Trombley and published in 1915. The book is a collection of short stories that follow the adventures of Batiste, a French-Canadian farmer living on the remote island of Isle La Motte in Lake Champlain. The stories are set in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and they offer a glimpse into the daily life of a rural community in Vermont. Through Batiste's eyes, the reader experiences the joys and challenges of farming, hunting, and fishing in a harsh and unforgiving environment. However, the book is not just a simple portrayal of rural life. It also explores the complex social and cultural dynamics of the time, including the tensions between French-Canadian and Anglo-American communities, and the struggles of immigrants to adapt to a new way of life. Despite the challenges he faces, Batiste is a resilient and resourceful character who always manages to find a way to overcome his ""trubbles."" His stories are humorous, heartwarming, and sometimes tragic, but they always offer a glimpse into a bygone era that is both nostalgic and fascinating. Overall, Batiste of Isle La Motte: His Trubbles is a charming and engaging book that offers a unique perspective on rural life in Vermont at the turn of the century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, culture, or simply a good story.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
