Publisher's Synopsis
The Riders Of The Plains is a memoir written by Cecil Edward Denny, which recounts the early and thrilling days in the Northwest of Canada. The book is a vivid and detailed account of the author's experiences as a member of the Royal North-West Mounted Police, also known as the Mounties. The story takes place during the late 1800s, a time when the Northwest was still a wild and untamed land, and the Mounties were the only law enforcement agency in the area.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which tells a different story from Denny's time as a Mountie. The stories range from humorous anecdotes to thrilling tales of bravery and adventure. Denny describes the harsh conditions of life in the Northwest, including the extreme weather, the dangerous wildlife, and the hostile Indigenous tribes who were still resisting colonization.Throughout the book, Denny also provides insights into the culture and customs of the Indigenous peoples he encountered during his time in the Northwest. He describes their traditional way of life, their beliefs and practices, and their interactions with the white settlers who were encroaching on their land.Overall, The Riders Of The Plains is a fascinating and engaging memoir that provides a unique perspective on the early days of Canada's history.
