| The era of Canada's Wild West has been a well-kept secret. The stories in this book illuminate the checkered complexion of Canada's Old West, and the nefarious, the heroic, and those somewhere-in-between individuals who populated it. The era of the Wild West has been a well-kept secret in Canada's history, but it is no less adventurous and intriguing than that of the southwestern American states. The stories in this book - ranging from gunfights to manhunts and the rough justice system shaped by the character of the times - illuminate the checkered complexion of Canada's Old West, and the nefarious, the heroic, and those somewhere-in-between individuals who populated it. |
