Abstract
"In 1896 Charcoal, a Blood Indian, killed one man and made attempts on others. Major Samuel Benfield Steele of the North-West Mounted Police saw him as a common murderer - but was the real story beyond Steele's grasp? In fact, there was another side to the story, that of a holy man concerned about his eternal spirit.
Hugh Dempsey has studied government records and spoken with the elders and historians of the Blood Reserve. The result is Charcoal's World, a book dealing with the basic confrontation of two cultures, neither really understanding the other."--Book jacket.
