Canadian Mounty Station

Canadian Mounty Station in DOS and CD-ROM Deluxe versions.

“Known affectionately as The Mounties, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police force was formed in 1873 in response to pleas from the Western Plains Indians who asked for protection from whiskey traders. A group of British horsemen volunteered to ride from Winnipeg to Alberta to come to their aid. The Indians more or less trusted the British Redcoats, so the volunteers wore similar colored uniforms. This ride is remembered in Canadian history as the Long march, since it took the volunteers two months to complete their journey.”
