By Charles Pelham Mulvany

Book Overview

The History of the North-West Rebellion of 1885 is a comprehensive account of the events that led up to and occurred during the conflict between the Canadian government and the M�����tis and First Nations people of the North-West Territories. Written by Charles Pelham Mulvany, a journalist who covered the rebellion for the Toronto Globe, the book provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the rebellion, as well as the military strategies and tactics employed by both sides during the conflict. Beginning with an overview of the history of the North-West Territories and the events that led up to the rebellion, Mulvany then delves into the causes of the conflict, including the government's failure to address the concerns of the M�����tis and First Nations people, the impact of the Canadian Pacific Railway on the region, and the role of the North-West Mounted Police in maintaining order. The book then provides a detailed account of the rebellion itself, including the battles at Duck Lake, Fish Creek, and Batoche, as well as the aftermath of the conflict, including the trial and execution of M�����tis leader Louis Riel. Mulvany's account is based on extensive research, including interviews with participants in the rebellion, government documents, and contemporary newspaper accounts. Overall, The History of the North-West Rebellion of 1885 is an important work of Canadian history, providing a detailed and nuanced account of a pivotal moment in the country's development. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Canada, the M�����tis and First Nations people, and the impact of colonialism on Indigenous communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
