Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth account of the difficulties and unrest leading up to and during the tumultuous 1869 and 1870 period in what is now the province of Manitoba. The author draws on accounts from key figures, including then-Governor McTavish and Archbishop Tache. The narrative paints a vivid picture of escalating tensions between the local population, primarily composed of English and French half-breeds, and incoming Canadian surveyors who carried out their work in a manner perceived as insensitive and disrespectful to the region's history and identity. The book delves into the specific events that triggered the unrest, such as perceived land encroachment and lack of consultation with the indigenous population. Through this analysis, the author highlights the complexities of the region's history and the importance of understanding the perspectives of all parties involved in shaping its path.
