Book Overview

The Story Of Riel's Revolt is a historical book written by Major General T. Bland. The book details the story of the 1885 Northwest Rebellion in Canada, led by Louis Riel. The rebellion was a significant event in Canadian history, as it marked a pivotal moment in the relationship between the Canadian government and the Indigenous peoples of the region. The book provides a comprehensive account of the events leading up to the rebellion, including the political and social tensions that existed between the M�����tis and the Canadian government. The author also explores the role of Louis Riel in the rebellion, his motivations, and the impact of his leadership on the outcome of the conflict. The book is based on extensive research and provides a detailed and informative account of this important moment in Canadian history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in Canadian history, Indigenous rights, and the relationship between colonial powers and Indigenous peoples.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.
