Description
This notice appeared as an advertisement in Halifax in 1873. In the advertisement, the government of Canada sought twenty young men for service in the North West Mounted Police. The men were required to be of good character, single, between the ages of 20 and 35, and capable of riding. The recruits would be required to serve a term of three years. Compensation included a grant of 160 acres of land, with right of choice.
