Eric Nichol has discovered Frank Dickens' letters home to England, which describe his impressions of Canada and his adventures bringing law and order to the rough and ready Canadian West. These witty and informative letters, revealed here for the first time, shed surprising new light not only on the Dickens family, but also on a wide range of characters, from Louis Reil and Sitting Bull all the way to Col Harry Flashman.
Canadian history will never be the same again.
