Sam Steele, "the man who tamed the Gold Rush," had a high-profile
public career, yet his private life has been closely protected. Sam
Steele: A Biography follows Steele's rise from farm boy in
backwoods Ontario to the much-lauded Major General Sir Samuel
Benfield Steele. Drawing on the vast Steele archive at the
University of Alberta, this comprehensive biography vividly
recounts some of the most significant events of the first fifty
years of Canadian Confederation-including the founding of the
North-West Mounted Police, the opening of the North through the
Klondike, and Canada's participation in the South African War-from
the perspective of a policeman who became a military leader.
Impeccably researched and accessibly written, Sam Steele is perfect
for anyone interested in Canada's early decades.
