The Frog Lake Massacre

By: Bill Gallaher

Narrated by: Charles Carroll

In the spring of 1884, Jack, an adventurous young man, packs his bags in Victoria, BC, and heads for the prairies, looking for a new life and hoping to get involved in an Indian war. Instead, he lucks into an exciting job in the fur trade and meets and befriends many of the great chiefs of the Cree nation, such as Poundmaker and Big Bear, and ends up between a bullet and a target when the North-West Rebellion erupts.

After witnessing the historic Frog Lake Massacre and the murder of his friends, Jack is captured by the Cree warriors and, later, guides the famous Inspector Sam Steele on the hunt for Cree Chief Big Bear. The Frog Lake Massacre is the first book in a trilogy about a young man who is trying to forge an independent life for himself in the huge and newly established country of Canada. Along the way, he discovers that bravery and loyalty bring their own rewards.

Wow.... a sad biography of the demise of a peopl

Worth your time to delve into... be patient, you will soon be invested in the charaters of a forgotten people and the reigning government who saw to their demise.

The frog lake massacre

I really enjoyed this audio book. I loved that history was told about this incident in native American culture. I had not expected that some of the story was true.

Captivating

Excellent story. Well written . Great narration . An example of how simplicity evokes the feeling of a great campfire story

Well worth the time!

Nice historical fiction story about an old native American Indian battle in Canada in the later 1870's. I'd never heard of it and likely never would have. The narration is extremely well done. I dont think you'll regret giving it a listen.

A Factual Listen

If one is interested in this period and event. it is a good listen. It is just a rather factual type of listen.
