Murderous whiskey smugglers, fur traders, outlaws, gold seekers and Indians, desperately making a last stand against "civilization," combined into a volatile stew. A white man's hide was worth little, a red man's even less. Intertribal wars, lynchings, scalpings, ambushes and massacres were everyday events. Amidst public outcry, Sir John A. Macdonald created the North West Mounted Police to bring law and order to the West, money and power to the East. More than three hundred untrained young men, captivated by the spirit of adventure, began the march west to the notorious Fort Whoop Up ~ headquarters of the whiskey trade where every sin known to man, and some invented on the spot, were practised on a daily basis. The Mounties' mission: drive out the whiskey traders, pacify the Indians, secure the border and bring law to the frontier. Their nine~hundred~mile trek turned into a gruelling, devastating four~month epic as they faced starvation, thirst, disease, stampedes, prairie storms, stalking Indians, loneliness, cooties and even a plague of grasshoppers. The Great Adventure rides along with the Mounties, feeling their saddlesores, tasting their fears and savouring their triumphs. Using original sources ~ remarkable diaries and poignant memoirs written by the young men themselves, contemporary accounts, government documents and other material never before published ~ David Cruise and Alison Griffiths paint an unforgettable portrait of an immense, raw land, the swashbuckling but naive men determined to tame it, and the ferocious spirit of the Indians dedicated to keeping it theirs. The Great Adventure is a turning point in Canadian history, not only for the Wild West but for the entire country. This is our own Lonesome Dove ~ gripping, shocking, hilarious, sad, glorious ~ and true.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Other than a name and date on the end paper, this is a tight and unmarked copy- " From Kirkus Reviews: A history of a little known 1873-74 expedition over a vast tract of Canadian wilderness by new police recruits, made to pacify Indians, monitor the long Canadian/US border, destroy the whiskey trade to the tribes, and bring law to Canada's wild west. Cruise and Griffiths (authors of several previous books, including The Money Rustlers, not reviewed) researched diaries, memoirs, newspaper accounts, and other period materials to recover the story of the motley collection of 150 men who made this forbidding 900-mile trek to frontier forts and trading posts in the unsettled Northwest Territory. They had been recruited with the promise of a good horse, extra rations, and an extraordinary opportunity for adventure. The rations, it turned out, were sporadic, and the horses only incompletely broken in, but they did get the adventure, in abundance. It was, Cruise and Griffiths remind us, from such ill-trained bands of adventurers that the renowned Royal Canadian Mounted Police evolved. The force, commanded by the inept British colonel George French, quickly found itself pushed to the limits of endurance by its leader's iron will, harsh discipline, and poor judgment. The men were plunged into a little-known and unforgiving land, peopled by militant tribes in constant warfare with one another. The recruits, during their long journey, endured intense heat, summer droughts, smallpox, grasshopper plagues, flying ants, vast prairie fires, and a subzero winter. The unforeseen hardships resulted in desertions and mutinous incidents. After the French bungled the mission, Major James MacLeod took command. A superb policeman and diplomat, he brokered the Blackfoot Treaty of 1877, which brought peace to the frontier and wiped out the destructive whiskey trade, thus making possible both the growth of the territory and the emergence of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A well-told tale deftly combining adventure, outsize characters, and lively scenes of a wild land in the process of being explored and settled. (11 photos, 11 line drawings)." Pictorial endpapers.
