This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au lendemain de la pendaison de Louis Riel en 1885, Gabriel Dumont, leader de la résistance métisse et chasseur de bisons, prend la fuite et se réfugie aux États-Unis. Il y est recruté par Buffalo Bill, figure mythique reconnue pour ses Wild West Shows, des spectacles itinérants qui représentent la vie du Far West. Toute sa vie, Dumont rêvera de raconter, dans un spectacle à grand déploiement, la lutte des Métis pour la reconnaissance de leurs droits. OEuvre dramatique joyeusement anachronique, Le Wild West Show de Gabriel Dumont - coécrit par dix auteurs et autrices autochtones et allochtones - donne vie au vieux rêve de Dumont en mettant en scène les événements qui ont mené à la résistance du Nord-Ouest. Publié en coédition avec Talonbooks (Vancouver), l'ouvrage contient deux versions, à dominante française et anglaise. Il comprend aussi des visuels, une introduction et un dossier permettant de contextualiser la pièce. -- In 1885, following the hanging of his friend Louis Riel, Métis Resistance leader and bison hunter Gabriel Dumont fled to the United States. There he was recruited by the legendary Buffalo Bill, founder of Buffalo Bill's Wild West, a gigantic outdoor travelling show that re-enacted life in the American West. Dumont dreamed of putting together a similar show to tell the story of the struggle of the Métis to reclaim their rights. The creative team behind Gabriel Dumont's Wild West Show - including ten authors, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, French- and English-speaking men and women - brings Dumont's dream to life in a captivating, joyously anachronistic saga with a rodeo vibe. Co-published with Prise de parole (Sudbury), the work consists of two versions, one predominantly in English and the other predominantly in French.

Download or read book The Diviners written by Margaret Laurence and published by New Canadian Library. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culmination and completion of Margaret Laurence’s celebrated Manawaka cycle, The Diviners is an epic novel. This is the powerful story of an independent woman who refuses to abandon her search for love. For Morag Gunn, growing up in a small Canadian prairie town is a toughening process – putting distance between herself and a world that wanted no part of her. But in time, the aloneness that had once been forced upon her becomes a precious right – relinquished only in her overwhelming need for love. Again and again, Morag is forced to test her strength against the world – and finally achieves the life she had determined would be hers. The Diviners has been acclaimed by many critics as the outstanding achievement of Margaret Laurence’s writing career. In Morag Gunn, Laurence has created a figure whose experience emerges as that of all dispossessed people in search of their birthright, and one who survives as an inspirational symbol of courage and endurance. The Diviners received the Governor General’s Award for Fiction for 1974.

Download or read book Gabriel Dumont written by George Woodcock and published by Andersen Press (UK). This book was released on 1975 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The struggle of the Metis of the Saskatchewan River against the government of Canada culminated in the Riel Rebellion of 1885 - an event of central importance in shaping almost all of the key polarities of Canadian history. If Riel provided the intellectual inspiration for the Rebellion, it was Gabriel Dumont who provided its strategy, and arguably its soul. Dumont, a leading figure in the Metis society of hunters along the South Saskatchewan, had been president of the short-lived local government, and became "Adjutant General of the Metis people" when a Provisional Government was declared in 1885. After the defeat of the Rebellion by the Canadian militia Dumont lived for several years in the United States, and was for some time a performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. In his last years he returned to his old home near Batoche (site of the final defeat of the Metis forces in 1885), where he died in 1906."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis The Cowboy Cavalry by : Gordon E. Tolton
Download or read book The Cowboy Cavalry written by Gordon E. Tolton and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Native and Métis unrest escalated into the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, settlers in southern Alberta's cattle country were terrified. Three major First Nations bordered their range, and war seemed certain. In anticipation, 114 men mustered to form the Rocky Mountain Rangers, a volunteer militia charged with ensuring the safety of the open range between the Rocky Mountains and the Cypress Hills. The Rangers were a motley crew, from ex-Mounties and ex-cons to retired, high-ranking military officials and working, ranch-hand cowpokes. Membership qualifications were scant: ability to ride a horse, knowledge of the prairies, and preparedness to die. This is their story, inextricably linked to the dissensions of the day, rife with skirmishes, corruption, jealousies, rumour, innuendo and gross media sensationalizing . . . all bound together with what author Gordon Tolton terms “a generous helping of gunpowder.” Tolton’s meticulous research reveals unexplored perspectives and little-known details. Be prepared for surprises!
