Good Read - the Gatling gun and the 1885 North-West Rebellion

[Brookwood]

Here's an article describing how Maj. Gen. Frederick Middleton, Lieutenant Arthur 'Gat' Howard, and the Colt Model 1874 Gatling gun led the Canadian Militia against the Métis during the 1885 North-West Rebellion as well as 'Gat's military career. Well worth the read!
