Embedded : two journalists, a burlesque star, and the expedition to oust Louis Riel  Cover Image Book Book

Embedded : two journalists, a burlesque star, and the expedition to oust Louis Riel / Ted Glenn.

Glenn, Ted, (author.).

Summary:

In the spring of 1870, the Daily Telegraph's Robert Cunningham and the Globe's Molyneux St. John set off from Toronto to cover one of the biggest stories in Canadian history: Colonel Garnet Wolseley's 1870 expedition to Red River. But that's not the whole story. Buried well below the fold was the fact that St. John's wife - international burlesque star Kate Ranoe - accompanied him and the expedition, and not just as an adventurer. Owing to an accident early on, Ranoe ended up ghostwriting many of St. John's stories.
