Sam Steele: An Officer and a Gentleman

Norman S. Leach

4.9/5 (32746 ratings)

Description:Had Sam Steele not been a historical figure, it has been observed, Hollywood would have had to invent him. Born into the comparative stability of the Victorian era's Pax Britannica, Steele lived to witness the post-war turmoil of the Lost Generation. From humble beginnings in Upper Canada to his knighthood in England two years before his death in 1919, Steele's life epitomized the themes of personal adventure, service to crown and country, and the zeal for modernization and social order that characterized nineteenth-century Canada within the British Empire. Steele's long and storied career threaded through many pivotal moments in Canada's settlement and development history: the Fenian raids, the expansion of law and order (on horseback and sporting red serge) across the North-West Territories, the exile of Sitting Bull into Canada, the construction of the national railroad that welded together the nation, Riel's Rebellion, the Klondike Gold Rush and opening of the North, the Boer War, and the Canada's coming of age during World War I.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
