Abstract
"On April 2, 1885, at Frog Lake, one hundred and twenty-five miles east of Edmonton, Indian Agent Thomas Trueman Quinn and eight other white men were killed by a group of Indians belonging to Big Bear's band of Plains Cree. Word quickly spread that the chief, long considered by many government officials to be the most troublesome Indian leader on the Canadian prairies, had led his people onto the warpath in support of Louis Riel's ill-conceived rebellion."--Introduction.
