Frontier Farewell: The 1870s and the End of the Old West

Description

The return of a classic, with a new introduction by Candace Savage. Frontier Farewell “ends with the disastrous bloodletting–the gruesome unwinding of a two-hundred-year experiment.” Lionel Hughes, Prairies North “Frontier Farewell offers new perspectives on everything from the transfer of Rupert’s Land to Canada, the Manitoba Resistance of 1869-70, and the Numbered Treaties of the 1870s, to the surveys of the Canadian Prairies, the coming of the North-West Mounted Police, and the fallout from the Battle of the Little Big Horn.” Ted Binnema, Department of History, University of Northern British Columbia
