Theresa Gowanlock and Theresa Delaney, both newly settled at Frog Lake in the North-West Territories, saw their husbands killed in April 1885 and were held for two months by Big Bear’s Cree band. Each tells her own story of the journey west, the attack, the captivity and the rescue.

A raw first-hand document of the 1885 rebellion; its view of the Cree is that of grieving settlers. Download the free EPUB.
