Description:

Interview of pioneer law enforcement officer Jeffrey Edward Blake, about: how the Northwest Mounted Police (NWMP) constables depended on their horses; the types of horses used by the force; the averaging out of the mileage travelled by all the horses so that they would share their workload; a favourite horse that Blake bought from the NWMP; and the difficulty NWMP officers had in receiving permission to marry. Blake recalls that it was easier to get a horse than to get a wife, because officers had to apply for permission to marry, to live out of barracks and to draw double rations. Because of the low salary, few members of the NWMP got married.
