520			_a"The Rising of the Red Man" by John Mackie is a historical romance set during the tumultuous Louis Riel Rebellion, likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the dramatic events of the uprising, focusing on the lives and struggles of both Indigenous peoples and settlers as tensions escalate. The main character, Henry Douglas, a well-off rancher, along with his daughter Dorothy and members of their community find themselves caught in the violence and chaos brought about by the insurrection. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the tense atmosphere surrounding Riel's gathering of half-breeds and Indigenous leaders as they prepare for rebellion. The prologue sets the stage on March 16, 1885, highlighting Riel's charismatic yet manipulative leadership as he incites the crowd using a solar eclipse as a sign from the Great Spirit. Following this, we meet the Douglas family in their log house on the Saskatchewan River, where they express their concern over the brewing conflict. As danger approaches, the uncertainty surrounding their fate intertwines with compelling new relationships, notably with Sergeant Pasmore, a member of the Mounted Police, whose courage becomes crucial amidst the escalating violence. The characters' interactions hint at deeper connections, setting the stage for adventure, loyalty, and sacrifice in the face of impending chaos. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
