This lengthy military autobiography about the North-West Rebellion, a reprint of an 1893 edition, is entirely unsuited to a school library. The small type, unfamiliar vocabulary, and extremely dated format make the text virtually unreadable, even for educated adults. The small amount of Canadian historical material included does not justify the effort required to slog through the literal miles of upper crust meandering British memoirs.
