John Black, the Apostle of the Red River: Or, How the Blue Banner Was Unfurled on Manitoba Prairies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from John Black, the Apostle of the Red River: Or, How the Blue Banner Was Unfurled on Manitoba Prairies

WE are in the habit of referring to the heroic deeds of our fathers, whether English, Scottish, Irish or French, in the struggles they endured and the sacrifices they made for c'ountry or religion. The service rendered to liberty and religion by Cromwell and his Ironsides at Marston Moor or Naseby, by Hamilton and his Covenanters at Drumclog, by King William and his followers at Boyne and London de'rry, or by Henry and his Huguenots at Ivry, may well stir our bosoms with emotion.
