1st Paperback Edition. � Louis Riel, the fiery Metis leader and founder of Manitoba, continues to excite public interest as one of the most controversial and remarkable figures in Canadian history. "It seems strange to me," writes the author of this biography, "that although most of the books about the history of Canada, or the opening of the West, or the relations of the French- and English-speaking peoples had something to say about Riel, � Louis Riel, the fiery metis leader and founder of Manitoba, continues to excite public interest as one of the most controversial and remarkable figures in Canadian history. "It seems strange to me," writes the author of this biography, "that although most of the books about the history of Canada, or the opening of the West, or the relations of the French- and English-speaking peoples had something to say about Riel, there was no book that attempted to deal seriously with the man whose name was so familiar. Nevertheless interest in Riel has never flagged--perhaps because he was such a strange and pathetic figure, perhaps because he evoked such strong feelings of sympathy or antagonism." George Stanley's Louis Riel is the first fully documented biography of "the prophet of the new world." Destined to remain the single most dispensable source of Riel information for decades to come, it unfolds in full force the stormy life of the rebel leader from his birth in 1844 to his execution in 1885. � Blank Sticker on half-title page.
