Notes


A firsthand narrative of service in the North-West Mounted Police from 1884 to 1888, notable for its perspective from an ordinary constable rather than an officer. Donkin recounts his experiences at Prince Albert during the North-West Resistance and his duty as a guard over Louis Riel in Regina prior to the execution. His reminiscences range from observations on landscape, weather, and farming prospects to the everyday realities of frontier police work, offering a vivid account of the closing years of the prairie frontier.
