Book
Embedded : two journalists, a burlesque star, and the expedition to oust Louis Riel / Ted Glenn.
In the spring of 1870, the Daily Telegraph's Robert Cunningham and the Globe's Molyneux St. John set off from Toronto to cover one of the biggest stories in Canadian history: Colonel Garnet Wolseley's 1870 expedition to Red River. But that's not the whole story. Buried well below the fold was the fact that St. John's wife - international burlesque star Kate Ranoe - accompanied him and the expedition, and not just as an adventurer. Owing to an accident early on, Ranoe ended up ghostwriting many of St. John's stories.
