The Engagement Letters of Marie Harwood and Sam Steele
"Raised in an Anglican family with a military tradition, Sam Steele was one of the first men to enlist in the North-West Mounted Police in 1873. In 1888, a decade before his famous post in the Yukon during the Klondike Goldrush, he took command of the NWMP's Macleod district, based out of Fort Macleod. There he met Marie Elizabeth de Lotbinière Harwood, a woman from a prestigious Roman Catholic Québec family. Harwood's ancestry included prominent New France and Québec politicians, as well as leaders in the North West Company. Despite their different backgrounds, Steele and Harwood quickly fell in love and became engaged on October 25, 1888. In December, Harwood returned to her family in Q...
Sam Steele
The life of Canada’s police and military hero is “a story worth telling. Macleod’s solid research and clear writing also make it a story worth reading” (AlbertaPrimeTimes.com). Sam Steele, “the man who tamed the Gold Rush,” had a high-profile public career, yet his private life has been closely protected. This biography follows Steele’s rise from farm boy in backwoods Ontario to the much-lauded Major General Sir Samuel Benfield Steele.

Sam Steele
A GLOBE AND MAIL BESTSELLER Had there been no Sam Steele, it has been observed, Hollywood would have had to invent him. Born into the comparative stability of the Victorian era's Pax Britannica, Steele lived to witness the postwar turmoil of the Lost Generation. From humble beginnings in what is now Bracebridge, Ontario, to his knighthood in England two years before his death in 1919, Steele's life epitomized the themes of personal adventure, service to crown and country, and the zeal for modernization and social order that characterized nineteenth-century Canada within the British Empire. Steele's long and storied career threaded through many pivotal moments in Canada’s settlement and development history: the Fenian raids, the expansion of law and order (on horseback and sporting red serge) across the North-West Territories, the exile of Sitting Bull into Canada, the construction of the national railway that welded together the nation, Riel's Rebellion, the Klondike Gold Rush and opening of the North, the Boer War, and the Canada's coming of age during the First World War.
