Notes


This biography devotes significant attention to Sir Thomas Roddick’s role during the North-West Resistance of 1885, an aspect of the campaign rarely treated in detail. Of the book’s 160 pages, approximately thirty-eight examine Roddick’s service as Chief of Medical Staff in the Field, documenting the organization of medical personnel, treatment of the wounded, and evacuation of casualties during the conflict. The remainder of the volume places this service within the broader medical and public career of one of Canada’s leading surgeons of the late nineteenth century.
