Notes:
|
MacBeth is unsympathetic to the Métis cause and claims that they had
no right to engage in the Resistance of 1885. The NWMP, on the other hand,
are
placed in a favourable light. They had done their duty in warning the
authorities of the coming rebellion. When it finally did break out, they were
quick to do their part in suppressing it. The book shows no indication of
research or documentation.
