| 520 | _a"Policing the Plains: Being the Real-Life Record of the Famous Royal North-West Mounted Police" by R. G. MacBeth is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the establishment and operations of the Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP) as they patrolled the vast and often lawless wilderness of western Canada during a time of significant change and development. It highlights the courage, integrity, and effectiveness of the force in maintaining law and order and emphasizes their role in both Canadian society and the control of lawlessness in the region. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on a journey through the North-West Territories while tracing the footsteps of historical figures like Alexander Mackenzie, laying the groundwork for understanding the RNWMP's significance. He describes an encampment where a Mounted Policeman’s sudden appearance instilled a sense of order and respect among the locals. The story introduces the esteemed tradition of the Mounted Police, highlighting their commitment to justice without violence and the deep respect they garnered throughout their history. This opening sets the tone for exploring the challenges faced by the RNWMP and foreshadows the forthcoming tales of their adventures and contributions to the development of Canada.
