This book traces the formation of the North West Mounted Police and their adventures as the first force tasked with policing the vast expanse of the North West Territories in Canada. The author delves into the political and social tensions that led to the establishment of this mounted police force, including the illicit liquor trade and violence perpetrated by rogue American traders. The author provides historical context on the indigenous tribes inhabiting the Territories, their conflicts with encroaching settlers, and their interactions with the police force. The book also highlights the challenges faced by the police as they navigated unfamiliar terrain, established outposts, and enforced law and order in a region rife with conflict. The author illustrates how the actions of the police brought stability to the region. Their efforts helped preserve peace, protect indigenous rights, and pave the way for the eventual settlement and development of the North West Territories.
