Louis Riel: Firebrand
Louis Riel devoted his life to the Metis cause. A fiery activist, he struggled against injustice as he saw it. He was a pioneer in the field of Aboriginal rights and land claims but was branded an outlaw in his own time. In 1885, he was executed for treason. In 1992, the House of Commons declared Riel a founder of Manitoba. November 16 is now designated Louis Riel Day in Canada.

I forgot my book so I grabbed it from a little library by the subway station. I am pretty sure this was a kids book.
I had only the faintest ideas of what Louis Riel did, so it was nice to learn more about him. There was a lot fiction in between the historical bits.
The writing was fairly amateur.
