- Abstract
- Pertains to the history of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). While some of the book is devoted strictly to the historical events leading to the creation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, much of the content pertains to the role RCMP officers take on in our modernized world. The content focuses on the dynamic roles officers play today, the equestrian branch of the RCMP, parades and escorts and the beloved horses that have long since been associated with the RCMP. Additionally, the book talks about the individuals who rode the horses, and specific events of significance such as the Musical Ride. The book aims to commemorate the history and effort of the RCMP, a group that has since become a national symbol in Canada.
