Red Serge and Stetsons: A Hundred Years of Mounties' Memoires: Gripping, tragic and funny by turns, these recollections by members of the Royal Canadian Montreal Police go back to the great March West in 1874. From building forts on the prairies in 1870s to big-city undercover drug investigations in the 1970s, the stories highlight the extensive and varied adventures of police work. Here are tales of rum-runners and hidden stills, hilarious anecdotes of bachelor housekeeping, heroic, thousand-mile patrols of the Arctic by dogteam, the stress and satisfaction of being an RCMP wife, the origins of the famous Musical Ride, the first, full account of “The Mad Trapper of Rat River” and much, much more. This book is a lively and lasting tribute to the dedication, courage and humour of Canada's widely respected and much-admired “Mounties”
