Battle Cry at Batoche

Ben Muldoon finds himself in the midst of politically charged events in the Saskatchewan River Valley in 1885. One day, as Ben is walking through a ravine, he encounters a Cree boy named Red Eagle, who soon becomes his friend after a hair-raising rescue. Charged by his uncle, a Hudson's Bay Company man, to reluctantly report on the activities of the Metis and Cree, Ben discovers that a confrontation between the North-West Mounted Police and the Natives is imminent. Ben and Red Eagle witness the struggles of the Metis and Cree for recognition and the failed efforts to negotiate a settlement that ultimately lead to tragedy and war.Bayle, B.
