2023 will mark the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police which was originally named the North-West Mounted Police.
To help commemorate the auspicious occasion my latest book Barclay of the Mounted has just been published.
Barclay of the Mounted is the memoir of a young man who, looking for adventure and glory, joins the newly formed North-West Mounted Police in 1874. A bit naive and idealistic, Henry Barclay, a native of Toronto, travels west "... to keep the peace and uphold the right of all."
Though he is a peace-keeper in late 19-century Western Canada, Barclay seldom uses his gun, but rather in the typical Canadian fashion, he uses wit and reason. As he states in an early adventure: "I had faced death twice in as many days, and neither time did I feel the need to draw my long-barrelled Deane and Adams revolver."
Barclay of the Mounted can be found on Amazon!
