Benton of the Royal Mounted: A Tale of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police

The narrative opens with a nostalgic portrait of life at a mounted police post, contrasting daytime duties—prison work, patrols, stables—with a moonlit square and a boisterous canteen where men drink, sing, and trade rough camaraderie. A weary rider tends his horse and enters the ranks of familiar faces while a superintendent known as Father moves through orderly routines. Recollections of former discipline, ceremonial signals, and wartime service color the telling. Subsequent episodes explore patrol life, duties, and personal bonds within a changing landscape as veteran officers remember a disappearing era of strict routine and close-knit fellowship.
