Portions from the Preface by the author -----

The Riel Rebellions were the most dramatic episodes in the history of Western Canada. Their historical significance has, however, been distorted and even lost sight of in the political, racial and religious controversy which their events engendered.

In all parts of the world, in South Africa, New Zealand and North America, the penetration of white settlement into territories inhabited by native peoples has led to friction and wars; Canadian expansion into the North-West led to a similar result. Here both the half-breed population and the Indian tribes rose in arms against Canadian intrusion and the imposition of an alien civilization.

This book is in a very good condition with slight edge wear including very minor spine bumps. No writings, clean and tight and attractive edition. Perfect gift idea for the Canadian historian or for your own personal library.

Please see and enlarge photos and email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks for looking.
