Outrider of Empire

By 1899, when Roger Pocock embarked on a record-setting journey from Alberta to Mexico City along the infamous American Outlaw Trail, he had already been a missionary, a pirate, a soldier and a cowboy. Roger Pocock was an inveterate, world-ranging traveller who crossed paths with many influential people, including Prince Louis of Battenburg and Rudyard Kipling.

Canada was always the land Roger loved best after his native Britain, perhaps because his brief stint in the North West Mounted Police during the Northwest Rebellion launched his career as a writer, and provided a major source of inspiration, both for his stories and in the creation of his greatest and longest-lived achievement, the Legion of Frontiersmen.
