Notes

"....describes the activities of the North-West Mounted Police during the 1885 Rebellion. To many Canadians the role of the Mounted Police is virtually unknown, being overshadowed by the activities of the large number of troops sent from Eastern Canada. The Mounted Police warned Ottawa that a rebellion would occur unless there was a change in the treatment of aboriginals. When the warnings went unheeded they were caught in a war they had tried to prevent. ..." From an advertisement on the final page.
