Inhaltsangabe

The story of the Riel-led rebellion in the Canadian Red River country. Louis Riel, the Canadian religious figure and prophet of a new order in the West who was plagued with bouts of insanity, was a once enigmatic man who has become one o the most closely scrutinized figures in Canadian history, leading to a century-long debate about whether Riel was a great political leader or a madman. It is a story of racism, the story of Louis Riel and of the American Indians of the Northern Great Plains, the Sioux, Cree, and Blackfeet; and of the Metis or 'half breeds' who sought to create a nation born of violence and despair, and reared to a brief glory. White men called it treason. For this Louis Riel died on the gallows in 1885, and his nation died with him.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The author of Good an Evil is a storyteller who seeks neither fame nor controversy. He does not need reader reinforcement in any way, his interest in this story ended with the last word of the last sentence of the epilogue, and his current interest is focused on creating his next story, an effort that needs seclusion and God willing another year of life. For this reason, he wishes to remain anonymous.
