Louis Riel, a controversial Métis mystic and visionary, fought for his peopleâ??s rights against an encroaching tide of white settlers. Hunter and Métis leader Gabriel Dumont, a man tested by warfare, was, in contrast, a pragmatic realist of the land. Celebrated novelist Joseph Boyden explores the tumultuous year when Riel and Dumont united the Métis while dividing a nation. Could Dumont have foreseen the impact on the Métis cause when he brought Riel home? While making rational demands of Sir John A. Macdonald, Riel seemed increasingly overtaken by a messianic mission. His controversial execution by the Canadian government in 1885 still reverberates today. Boyden, with his powerful narrative skill, creates an unforgettable portrait of two seminal Canadian figures who helped shape the country. | Extraordinary Canadians: Louis Riel And Gabriel Dumont by Joseph Boyden Paperback | Indigo Chapters Books > History > North American History > Canada P10101, Joseph Boyden<
