Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. First edition. Softcover. In 1989, former Winnipeg Blue Bomber Brian Jack stood accused of murdering his wife Christine. Leading the prosecution team, the author won a conviction against him, but after 3 trials, numerous appeals and 2 appearances before the Supreme Court of Canada, that court entered a judicial stay of proceedings. Brian Jack is a free man even though he was convicted of manslaughter at his 3rd trial. Now retired, the author reminds us that all the evidence pointed clearly to Brian Jack's guilt and takes some of Canada's senior jurists to task over what he believes was a colossal miscarriage of justice. What happpened to Christine Jack? One day, she vanished off the face of the earth. In this provocative account, prosecutor John Montgomery makes it plain what he thinks happened to Christine Jack. She was murdered, although her body was never found. In a stunning condemnation of Canada's justice system Montgomery points the finger at the judges who let Christine Jack down and he levels a direct challenge to the man he says is responsible for Christine Jack's disappearance. With 1 Illus. of Christine Jack, Appendix, Endnotes + Index. 194pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate F.…

A snug little flock: the social origins of the Riel resistance of 1869-70. Winnipeg, Manitoba: Watson & Dwyer, 1991, vii, 276pp., The hardcover is very good. Discusses the Red River setting and the formation of the MÃÂ tis identity in Canada. - CONTENTS: The Red River setting -- A Question of Leadership -- The first years -- A Little Britain in the Wilderness -- Free Trade and social fragmentation -- A Strife of Blood -- The Rev. G. O. Corbett and an Uprising of the People -- Halfbreeds and the Riel protest -- The Metis and the Riel protest. - COVER TEXT: Red River, in the 1830s, was a mix of Scottish farmers, Indians, fur traders, mixed-bloods of Scottish-Indian origin, and MÃÂ tis of French-In-dian origin. The colony was a challenge to missionaries who set out to create an English rural parish at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine. They believed and taught that indolence - the unchristian nomadic lifestyle of the buffalo hunt - must be replaced by the work of die Lord: agriculture. The traditional fur-trade marriage must be replaced by the Christian marriage which, they insisted, was the parent not the child of civil society; the Christian marriage, however, could never correct the disastrous dilution of die Britannic race by Indian blood. In the strife of blood that followed, Red River became a society in which White looked down on mixed-blood, Catholic suspected Protestant, Halfbreed distrusted MÃÂ tis and clergy opposed the officers of the Hudson's Bay Company. The end result was the civil war of 1869. Why did the Halfbreeds of Scottish and English origin submerge themselves in the 1860s among the white settlers or in the native community? Why are they excluded from a national identity? What factors formed the strong MÃÂ tis identity? What are the implications of the way the MÃÂ tis identity emerged from MÃÂ tis claims to rectify past injustices and settle Aboriginal cultural and land claims? This original and provocative book provides some of the answers. "-Illustrated. …
