The lack of posts on this blog in over three years actually came as a surprise to me. It was less a matter of lost interest and more a matter of struggles with figuring out a proper layout for the information.
I want to display and discuss Mountie fiction but also keep a notebook of the NWMP's history so you'll note two categories on the right side of the page; "Fact" and "Fiction". If you care particularly more for one than the other, then simply pick your path!
Very little "fact" has been featured here but my reading has leaned more into that category of late. I am currently working my way through Sam Steele: A Biography and enjoying it a great deal.
The briefest version of one's accomplishments is normally through an obituary, unfortunately, and so the easiest way to share the key points from probably the most famous Mountie was to locate his. I did so in the January 30th, 1919, Calgary Herald and share it with you below.
