The story of Louis Riel, the rebel chief

Collins, Joseph Edmund: 1855-1892. Born in Newfoundland; journalist in New Brunswick and Ontario; author (Wallace, Dictionary of Canadian biography ). // Contains 12 titled etchings and several untitled as plates or page illustrations. Also published, 2nd edition, Whitby & Toronto, Ont.: J.S. Robertson & Bros., 1885 ([2], 192p.); Toronto: Rose Publishing, 1885 (192p.); Toronto: Coles, 1970 (192p.). This potboiler was accepted as a biography by many readers, despite its overwrought emphasis on a love triangle between Thomas Scott, a Métis named Marie, and Riel. The 2nd edition includes an "appendix" on pages 177-192: "The trial and execution of Louis Riel."
