Item description from seller

Description: Frontis plate with tissue guard plus twenty-six additional black and white plates, two full page drawings, and four maps -- two of these are fold-out maps. (All plates/illustrations are verified as being present.) The title page is printed in red and black. The subtitle reads: ''A record of the Royal North-West Mounted Police of Canada, 1873-1910. From the author's preface: ''It is time that an authoritative history of the Royal North-West Mounted Police should be added to the regimental records of the British Empire. To do this has been my object in the preparation of this book. I have endeavored to give a faithfully exact presentment of the wearer of the scarlet tunic, of the man and his work without any more embellishment than he himself indulges in when telling his story unofficially. In addition to seeing the Mounted Policeman in all the varied phases of his life, in barracks and on the open prairie, it has been my good fortune and privilege to be admitted into the confidence of the corps, and thus to acquire exclusive and accurate information by personal and intimate contact with officers and men. I have come to realize that the glamour and romance of the north-west is not a thing of the past. All official records have been paced generously at my disposal, and so far as I am aware my errors are only errors of omission.'' BINDING/CONDITION: red cloth with gilt; top edge gilt; badly faded at the spine; owner's name and date (name followed by R N W M P, Jan 1914) -- apparently a member of the corps; a much used copy, some foxing, stains to the cloth; Fair condition. appendices, index. 8vo (about 9 inches tall). 385 pages + ads.…
