Synopsis

""Trooper and Redskin in the Far Northwest"" is a memoir written by John G. Donkin, which recounts his experiences as a member of the Northwest Mounted Police in Canada during the late 19th century. The book details Donkin's four-year stint in the force, from 1884 to 1888, during which he was stationed in the remote and often treacherous regions of the Canadian Northwest.Throughout the book, Donkin describes the daily challenges and dangers faced by the Mounties as they worked to maintain law and order in a vast and often lawless territory. He also provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, wildlife, and indigenous peoples he encountered during his time in the force.Donkin's memoir offers a unique perspective on the history of the Canadian Northwest, as well as the role of the Northwest Mounted Police in shaping the region. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Canadian history, law enforcement, or the experiences of early pioneers in the Canadian wilderness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
