[M R V · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well written and well researched book about a Canadian hero neglected by history. His fair and disciplined demeanour in regards to service-of-country and policing, and pride in what is now the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), still resonates with today’s Mounties.
