About this listen

Champion of a people or traitorous rabble-rouser? Political visionary or religious lunatic? Louis Riel is one of the most ambiguous figures in Canadian history, a man who stood and fell for the Métis nation. Hear about the fascinating western icon in this well-paced biography. The doomed struggle of Louis Riel and his Métis people against the new Canadian government is a story rich in drama and cultural change.

Great history with great story telling

A lot of books about Canadian history are work to get through. This one was not. With just enough story to make it relatable, this book was informative and engaging.

Louis Riel Doesn’t Take Sides in Its Telling

Opinions about Louis Riel differ greatly among some groups of Canadians depending on when and where they were raised and educated. I recall being taught of Riel as if he were a troublemaker and a murderer. My own youthful quest for knowledge told me another story altogether. It told me he was a visionary politician and a positive leader of people only concerned with the wellbeing of his people.

This audiobook tells Riel’s story accurately without painting him a hero or a villain. It gives its listener factual information in a chronological order allowing its audience all it needs to see him as they will see fit.

It’s slightly dramatized recounts allow for an entertaining recount of history that is hard to walk away from.
