The Incredible Adventures of Louis Riel
Canada's Most Famous Revolutionary
by Cat Klerks
"Fifteen years ago, I gave my heart to this nation, and I am ready to give it again." - Louis Riel, 1884. This book will be especially fascinating for all young readers interested in: history, biography, or politics. Louis Riel is perhaps the most controversial figure in Canadian history. A rebel and a powerful orator, he emerged as a leader of the Metis in the Red River settlement. His ability to unite the Metis nation was legendary. Although known as the Father of Manitoba, he spent much of his adult life in exile. He was found guilty of treason and hanged in Regina on November 16, 1885
