The excerpts on this and following pages come from Chester Brown's Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography (Drawn & Quarterly Publications, Montreal, 2003). The graphic biography is 270 pages long, and includes notes and an index.
Time.com called Brown's unique book "a deeply personal, utterly compelling page-turner in the guise of a 19th-century history book."
