Description

The Four Canadian Highwaymen is a book written by Joseph Edmund Collins that tells the story of four infamous highwaymen who operated in Canada during the 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of the lives and crimes of these four men, who were known for their daring robberies and their ability to evade the law. The highwaymen, whose names were Bill Miner, Louis Riel, Charley Ford, and Tom Powers, were all unique in their own way and had different motivations for their criminal activities. The book explores the social and economic conditions that led these men to become highwaymen and the impact they had on Canadian society at the time. The author also delves into the methods used by law enforcement to catch these criminals and the public fascination with their exploits. The Four Canadian Highwaymen is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Canadian history, crime, and the wild west era.Roland hesitated.
