{"product_id":"9781410215147","title":"The Story Of Louis Riel: The Rebel Chief","description":"The story of the Riel-led rebellion in the Canadian Red River country. Louis Riel, the Canadian religious figure and prophet of a new order in the West who was plagued with bouts of insanity, was a once enigmatic man who has become one o the most closely scrutinized figures in Canadian history, leading to a century-long debate about whether Riel was a great political leader or a madman. It is a story of racism, the story of Louis Riel and of the American Indians of the Northern Great Plains, the Sioux, Cree, and Blackfeet; and of the Metis or 'half breeds' who sought to create a nation born of violence and despair, and reared to a brief glory. White men called it treason. For this Louis Riel died on the gallows in 1885, and his nation died with him.","brand":"Press Holdings International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026895618288,"sku":"9781410215147","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781410215147_p0.jpg?v=1763723126","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781410215147","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
