Description
Precarious Nation takes you on a roller coaster of suspense through little known Canadian events of 1869. The true story starts with the romance of Emma Tupper, (the daughter of Sir Charles Tupper) and Captain Donald Cameron who is a soldier stationed in Halifax Nova Scotia. Captain Cameron soon finds himself and his bride travelling West as he is part of the new government sent to Fort Garry (Winnipeg). Precarious Nation explores deadly conflicts, lies, deceit and the magnetism and misuse of power by colonial and native leaders. Emma encounters the biases and fears of the people of Red River as she and her new husband are exiled by Louis Riel. Her father comes to her rescue in the dead of a prairie winter and faces perils unspoken of before.
