xi I wish to acknowledge a number of people who helped me to write this book. First, Robert Choquette who, as my doctoral advisor at the University of Ottawa in the early 1990s, encouraged me to pursue research on a figure who already appeared to have been subjected to all possible forms of scrutiny . My early work with Professor Choquette provided a foundation that would stay with me for more than a decade as I remained enchanted with Louis Riel. I must also thank Davíd Carrasco who, in 2001, pressed me to more fully pursue the questions that were being raised by my research, to address issues I had not previously considered and, ultimately, to write this book; and I am grateful to Charles H. Long for the many critical discussions we had as I researched and thought through this work over a number of years. I was also assisted by a number of people in the course of my research and wish to express my appreciation particularly to Elizabeth Marshall, Kristin McLaren, Moira Woolihan, Nancy Walters, Andrew Bryant, and Casey Koons. I am grateful, too, to Liz Frederic for her skillful work in creating maps for this book, based on a series of somewhat obscure references I provided; and to Dee Marie Freedman for offering me her wonderful photograph of Riel’s statue. Finally, my thanks to Lisa Poirier for helping me to see things that were staring me in the face, and to Irene Reid for her help as we worked together on translation. Acknowledgments ...
