This book provides an in-depth account of the military forces of the Dominion of Canada in the critical period following the confederation of the provinces in 1867. The author traces the development of the Canadian militia system, from its origins in the colonial era to its reorganization and expansion after Confederation. The book examines the challenges faced by the Canadian military in the late 19th century, including the need to defend an extensive frontier and the threat of invasion from the United States. It also explores the role of the Canadian militia in domestic events, such as the suppression of the Red River Rebellion in 1870. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including official documents, newspapers, and personal accounts, the author provides a comprehensive and detailed history of the Canadian military during this formative period. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Canada, military history, or the development of the Canadian nation.
