Description
364 pages. Occasional full-page black and white plates and illustrations in text. "An inspiring autobiography, as well as the story of the planting of Methodism in the great North-West. [provides] the record of some of the most stirring scenes in the founding of our Western Empire. Covers the revolt of the half-breeds under Louis Riel in 1869 in a simple narrative of the facts, recorded by an eye-witness whose well-known reputation for integrity, veracity and uprightness precludes any suspicion of unfairness." - Introduction. Publisher's maroon cloth decorated in gilt. 19 x 13.5 cm. Front hinge open. Back hinge starting. Somewhat above-average external wear. Trifle of writing inside front board. A worthy copy of this fascinating chronicle. Peel [2] 1516, Artibise 1213, Sloane 1271, Wallace p.41, Book
