Laws And Societies in the Canadian Prairie West 1670-1940

Laws and Societies in the Canadian Prairie West, 1670-1940 examines the legal history of the north-west frontier, from the earliest years of European-Native contacts in the 17th century to the advent of modernity. The essays bring together a cross-section of established and new scholars working in the allied fields of law, legal history, sociology, and criminology. They explore the substance of prairie legal history and the degree to which it is linked to broader and comparative developments while, at the same time, is rooted in its own countryside.Knafla, Louis is the author of 'Laws And Societies in the Canadian Prairie West 1670-1940 ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780774811668 and ISBN 0774811668.
