Book- NWMP 1873 - 1885

In The North-West Mounted Police: 1873-1885, Dunn combines scholarship and real-life drama to produce an impressive history of the creation of the NWMP and how it integrated itself into the Indigenous and Métis cultures already present on the prairies.

Dunn renders incisive accounts of the 1873/1874 “march west,” negotiations for Treaties 1 through 7, as well as the Northwest Rebellion in 1885. We are also presented, in extraordinary detail (accompanied with rare photos), an account of the NWMP’s mode of operation, equipment and recruitment at the time.
