Mudeater : An American Buffalo Hunter And The Surrender Of Louis Riel

Study by John D. Pihach of Irvin Mudeater, also known as Robert Armstrong, a frontier figure active in the American West and later in Canada. The work traces his early life as a buffalo hunter and plainsman, his move north in the 1880s, and his involvement in the events leading to the surrender of Louis Riel in 1885.

The volume examines differing accounts of Riel’s capture or surrender and situates Armstrong’s role within the broader context of the North-West Resistance. It includes a transcription of Armstrong’s memoir, presenting his own account of his experiences alongside the author’s narrative.
