In the spring of 1885, it appeared that war was about to set the
Canadian West aflame. Louis Riel had established a Metis
provisional government at Batoche, and the Cree, led by war chief
Wandering Spirit, had killed settlers, taken hostages and forced
the capitulation of Fort Pitt. Among the forces marshalled to quell
the unrest was an elite scouting unit of the Alberta Field Force,
led by the charismatic Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police.
Aggressive, tenacious and supremely confident, Steele was a
seasoned policeman who had earned a reputation for getting the job
done. Composed of North West Mounted Police, ex-militiamen and
savvy cowboys from Calgary, Steele's Scouts relentlessly pursued
the Cree warriors and their prisoners through the western
Saskatchewan wilderness, acting as shock troops and often fighting
at close quarters. The story of Sam Steele and his contingent is an
unforgettable account of the campaign that marked the end of the
Wild West on the Canadian prairies.
