Book
Sam Steele and the Northwest Rebellion : the trail of 1885 / Wayne F. Brown.
In the spring of 1885, the Northwest Rebellion threatened to set the Canadian West aflame. When the Cree, led by war chief Wandering Spirit, killed settlers and tooke hostages at Frog Lake, the Alberta Field Force marched from Calgary to put down the uprising. Leading the charge was an elite scouting unit commanded by the charismatic Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police. Steele's Scouts relentlessly pursued the Cree warriors and their prisoners through the western Saskatchewan wilderness. The story of Sam Steele and his contingent is an unforgettable account of the campaign that marked the end of the Wild West on the Canadian prairies.
