Toronto: Longmans, Green, 1961. 320 pp, 8 1/4" H. "Whether he was a martyr to his country's growth or the traitor he was branded, and why the jury's recommendation for mercy was ignored have been the unhappy questions on Canada's conscience since that November morning in 1885 when Louis Riel walked to the gallows 'with the dignity of a king'. Although one of the author's illustrious forebears appeared for the prosecution, E.B. Osler takes his stand unequivocally on the side of Riel; and every fair-minded Canadian will want to give him a hearing." Previous owner's name on front pastedown, small, light stain on textblock fore edge and a few very tiny marks on bottom of text block, light browning to edges of text block. Dust jacket is lightly browned, with small chips/tears(archivally taped)/creases at edges, light edgewear. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good+.
