"What follows is a work of creative nonfiction: an imaginative Inquiry into the career of Louis Riel that collapses historical time and provices Louis Riel a present-day opportunity to give the testimony he was denied at his trial. Using Riel's voice, this re-creation is based on evidence from the transcripts of Riel's trial as well as recent historical research into his career, all woven together to offer Riel the chance to have the Inquiry he was never allowed."--Page 4.
