Book
The wild ride : a history of the North West Mounted Police, 1873-1904 / Charles Wilkins.
An illustrated history of the opening of the Canadian west -- from the throes of Confederation and the Red River Rebellion, through the founding of the Mounties in 1873, to the arrrival of the railway in western Canada and the heroics of the Klondike Gold rush. It is the story of a force of untested young men, mounted policemen in crimson coats, sent west to do what they could to bring law and order to the land. The Wild Ride is history related in a bold way: as storytelling, as theatre, as art and exhibition, brought to life by an inspired collection of photos, artifacts, and ephemera.
