ix, 177 p. : ill.; 24 cm.

Summary

A re-examination of the evidence surrounding the North-West Rebellion. Author claims to disprove the now conventional views that the Rebellion was provoked by government ineptitude or malice and that Riel was unjustly punished for treason. Concludes that the Metis grievances were partly of their own making.
