By Major General T. Bland

Book Overview

The Story of Riel's Revolt is a historical account written by Major General T. Bland that chronicles the events leading up to and during the North-West Rebellion of 1885 in Canada. The book provides a detailed description of the political and social climate of the time, including the tensions between the Canadian government and the M�����tis people, who were fighting for their rights and land. The book also explores the leadership of Louis Riel, who led the M�����tis rebellion, and the battles that took place between the M�����tis and Canadian forces. Bland's account is based on primary sources and provides a comprehensive overview of the rebellion, including its causes, key players, and outcomes. The Story of Riel's Revolt is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Canadian history, Indigenous rights, and the impact of colonialism.The most noticeable feature of the whole campaign, a feature which makes its study of the greatest value to British militia and volunteers, is the extraordinary facility with which the young Canadian volunteers became converted into excellent marching and fighting soldiers. It may also be a matter of pride to young Englishmen that their brothers and cousins settled in Canada This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
