The North-West Mounted Police: 1873-1875 outlines the formative years of the Force in certainly the most momentous twelve-year period observed in Canadian history. Our understanding of the era is ehnanced immeasurably by the extent of information provided, the clear description of the frontier experience, and in its detailed survey of the policing and lifestyle of the "Guardians of the Land." In his research, the author relied extensively on primary sources: diaries, letters, newspapers, official reports, NWMP personnel files. The North-West Mounted Police: 1873-1875 is an engaging account of Western Canadian history.
