Frontier Farewell

The return of a classic, with a new introduction by Candace Savage. Frontier Farewell has been deemed "e;gracefully written"e; and "e;fully and meticulously researched,"e; by Sharon Butala, while Canadian History Magazine called it "e;a great read that shatters the mythology surrounding the 'taming' of the West."e; A book every history buff should own, Frontier Farewell "e;ends with the disastrous bloodletting--the gruesome unwinding of a two-hudred year experiment,"e; states Prairies North magazine. "e;Frontier Farewell offers new perspectives on everything from the transfer of Rupert's Land to Canada, the Manitoba Resistance of 1869-70, and the Numbered Treaties of the 1870s, to the surveys of the Canadian Prairies, the coming of the North-West Mounted Police, and the fallout from the Battle of the Little Big Horn...You just might want to buy two copies--one for yourself, and one for a friend."e; -Ted Binnema, Department of History, University of Northern British Columbia
