Description
"Much is being said these days about the relationship between the Indians and the Whites.
Much can be learned from the early relationship founded by Indian and Mounted Police. It was unlike anything experienced before, founded on deep regard for the dignity of each party as it was.
The author has captured the spirit of mutual respect that existed and has threaded it through a gripping and exciting story using a framework of recorded events through which to weave a tale of his fictional characters.
First of all this is a good story, as any novel should be. Secondly it is soundly based on history so that, along with sheer entertainment, the reader will learn much about the roots of Western Canada." -- Back cover.
