The examination corroborates these assertions with affidavits presented to a packed grand jury that exonerated the soldiers, officers, and magistrates who called in the troops. Also noteworthy is that the grand jury comprised a majority of recently arrived English-speaking Protestant farmers, even though the three victims were French Canadian and Catholic. Most troubling, the author notes, is the fact that historians have not questioned the official story; but here he attempts to set the record straight.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 476gAuthor: James JacksonGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: HistoryRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
