Diary of a War Wife and North West Mounted Police Memoir
A narrative blends Colonel Steele’s SA Constabulary role with the North West Mounted Police. It recounts Chinese coolie tensions, policing in South Africa, and a remarkable 1904 rescue of a mad missionary from Fort Chippeneyan to Fort Saskatchewan. The diary also chronicles a war wife’s vigil as her husband Albert lies gravely ill, awaiting news and blessing their enduring marriage.
