    Physical description

    First Edition. Octavo. (20.2 cm x 14.4 cm), pages: 200. Illustrated with a frontispiece + 4 portrait plates from drawings. With the fragile, original printed light green wrappers, stapled binding. Large chips from the head and tail of the spine, pieces missing from the lower rear cover and lower fore-edge, frontispiece has detached (but is loosely inserted), otherwise the text-block is clean, tight and square. A very nice copy of this scarce and important work written only months after Louis Riel's execution in November 1885. Scarce in the original wrappers. (Ref.: Peel (3) 1515). "This book was first published in New York in 1886. It is a rather subjective analysis of the troubles of 1870 and 1885 accompanied by a series of newspaper articles carefully chosen to support its bitter and malevolent point of view. According to this study, Louis Riel was the victim of a well-orchestrated plot by the Canadian Orangists supported by the Canadian government. His only crime was that he defended the fundamental rights of his countrymen." - Canada Annotated Bibliography - online (Mount Allison University). [2407]
