Louis Riel: A Comic Strip Biography by Chester Brown
3.0
Story of the man largely responsible for the creation of Manitoba who fought for the rights of the first peoples-descended residents.
Truly horrifying stories of the many ways the Canadian government tried and generally succeeded at screwing over the homesteaders.
I was fascinated, although when Riel started going off the deep end, I started to lose interest and considered not finishing. It becomes a bit less of a story vindicating the little guy and more tragic tale of a mad man. At least in my eyes. Brown seems to stay pretty neutral, so it's hard to settle on a lens on the events.
