    New! Spine has a UPC sticker. Cover and pages are clean and crisp, no rips, bends or creases.

    The North West Rebellion in 1885 was, in every sense, "a trying time" for the North West Mounted Police. The role of the force in the insurrection has been described by historians as "minor" and "insignificant" but this does not do justice to the major part played by a relatively small number of members of the Mounted Police who were involved in the battles at Duck Lake, Cut Knife Hill, Frenchman's Butte, and Loon Lake. This volume describes the activities of the Mounted Police just before, during and after the rebellion, including attempts by General Middleton, commander of the Canadian Militia during the Rebellion to have the Mounted Police abolished and the role assumed by the Militia. The book contains a full Nominal Roll for all engagements.
