The Mounted Police and Prairie Society, 1873-1919

The Mounted Police and Prairie Society, 1873-1919

The Mounted Police and Prairie Society 1873-1919 is a collection of scholarly explorations of the nature and role of the Mounties on the Prairies, from the formation of the North West Mounted Police in 1873/74 to its transformation into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1919/20. Given the status of the Mounties as a Canadian icon, and given the conflicting and changing evaluations of their actions and policies, the historical examination of the force is of considerable importance.
