Canadian history, found as a small leaflet (64 pages) - type book, published in 1962, "Frontier Books No. 2", the kind you would pick up for your kids in gift shops or gas stations while on vacation in the day. Similar still abound. Not a bad writing style, full of the prejudices of my childhood, when Natives could be accurately described as "Bloodthirsty" and prisoners could be held in "Durance Vile". Noteworthy as while all of the crimes reference the more unsavory details of rape and murder it would be a highly dubious book to give to kids nowadays. Many of the cases were set in the Edmonton and Calgary region.
Worth all of the 25 cents I paid for it.
