Description

Canada established a unique mounted police force in 1873 to restore law and order to the western frontier. The men who joined the Force and marched west shared many characteristics: They had a love of adventure, extreme endurance, and a strong sense of pride in their new country. Their adventures and escapades are an important part of Canada's history.
