Description

The blossoming of Métis society and culture within the 19th century marked an enchanting and vibrant era in western Canadian history. Drawing from journals and up to date sources, Irene Ternier Gordon presents a vivid account of Métis life within the space that may be now Saskatchewan and Alberta. Here are the stories of the masters of the plains—Métis buffalo hunters, traders and entrepreneurs like Louis Goulet, Norbert Welsh and the mythical Gabriel Dumont. Many enjoyed lives of freedom and adventure, yet also faced heartbreak as their way of living came to an end. From the delightful main points of marriage customs, feasts and fancy clothing to the unhappy consequences of the events of 1885, this book is a vivid chronicle of Métis life.
