Dawson gets his Man
In "The Mountie From Dime Novel to Disney" Mike Dawson has done a fine job of examining how the image of the Mountie has shifted over time, and how this has been stage managed, first from Mountie headquarters and now from Disneyland. A great book for anyone who wants to know what's behind the traditional "always-gets-his-man" image. Great reading for historians and non-historians, Can-culture vultures, and bemused Canadians everywhere.
