About This Item
George Woodcock introduces his perceptive and powerful biography of Gabriel Dumont, the legendary Metis plainsman, guerrilla general and enigmatic comrade of Louis Riel.
An uncommon INSCRIBED COPY, Dec. 1975.
Praise for the author by Margaret Laurence on the d.j.:
"This splendid biography gives us, for the first time, a full-scale portrait of the heroic Dumont, the great buffalo hunter and leader of the Saskatchewan Metis. It is also the most moving account I've ever read of the tragic events of 1885. Woodcock's brilliant study enables us to repossess a critical part of our past."
