Notes

This slim booklet explains the historical significance of Batoche (an area northeast of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) in the context of rising conflict between the Métis and the Canadian government in the North-West in the mid/late-1800s. In particular, the volume describes the 1885 North-West Resistance’s skirmishes, culminating in the battle at Batoche. The booklet summarizes and contextualizes key figures, events, and maneuvers. Captain James Peters’ period photographs provide an additional layer of historical interest.
