Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to edges of dust jacket; price clipped; otherwise very minimal wear; dust jacket is bright and unfaded; red covers with navy and dark yellow titles and design; This book deals with the making of the Mounties, the first twenty-odd years of their existence which started with one of the great marches of history and closed with the orderly conquest of the Yukon. It shows how law and order were set up in a wild country then dominated by rum-selling desperadoes. But this book also clothes the bare facts of history with the romance of the actual life led by those energetic adventurers. It shows what those original Mounties were like, the difficulties and dangers they had to contend with, the fun they had, and their transformation from seemingly ordinary civilians into the most famous police force in the world. - from the cover and with a 1958 perspective Illustrations: Collins, Ruth M.
