Louis Riel (1885)

 One of the saddest moments in Canadian history was the execution of Louis Riel, the only member of parliment who was executed for treason for leading the 1870 and 1885 rebellions for the Metis peoples.


In my wargamming of these era I have fielded a Metis army made up of Airfix and Revell Indians and Cowboys, with







Esci Zulu War British as Canadian militia. Artillery is provided by Airfix American Civil War guns. Gun crews I will model with converted figures.
