A Trying Time: The North-West Mounted Police in the 1885 Rebellion (Signed) - Wallace, Jim

SIGNED BY JIM WALLACE on half title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; light crease to front cover near spine; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; The Northwest Rebellion in 1885 was, in every sense, "a trying time" for the Northwest Mounted Police. The role of the force in the insurrection has been described as 'insignificant" but this does not do justice to the major part played by a 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 book describes the Mounted Police activities just before, during and after the rebellion, including how General Middleton, commander of the Canadian Militia during the Rebellion attempted to have the force abolished and the role assumed by the Militia.
