Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good +. B/W Plates (illustrator). 2 'nd Edition. SUBTITLED : `The End of Freedom '. As a young boy, Big Bear was witness to the increasing conflict between Cree and Blackfoot Indians. The Cree were migrants - maybe even immigrants. The Blackfoot resented their presence especially in competition for food. By 1866 this conflict, which also took in `whites' had developed into crisis propotions and by 1885 it spawned the Battle of Duck Lake. This, then was the story of the great Cree chief Big Bear. Learn also about: Thomas Trueman Quinn, Ayimasees, Cree Thirst Dance, Jackfish Lake, Little Runner, Constable David Cowan, and Red Deer Forks. Cond : Paper wrapper is yellowey-orange in colour. Lettering similar. Brown decoration. Photograph (1885) of Big Bear inset. Spine fine, binding tight, colours bright. Edge and corner wear. No names or creases or tears. ONLY marks are on back cover. Exellent reading copy . Quote (p. 202) : " The bottom line of the whole dispute was hunger. With the destruction of the buffalo in Canada by 1879, the Indians were thrown into a state of abject poverty. Rations fluctuated wildly from a pound of flour and a pound of meat per day, all the way down ._._._. ." Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 006351
