"Spirit-of-Iron (Manitou-pewabic)" by Harwood Steele is a novel written in the early 20th century. This authentic narrative presents the development of North-Western Canada during its formative pioneer period, focusing on the experiences and ideals of Constable Hector Adair, the main character, who embodies the spirit and duty of the North-West Mounted Police. The story captures his journey, struggles, and the values that shape both him and the law enforcement force he represents. The opening of "Spirit-of-Iron" introduces us to Hector Adair, a young recruit in the North-West Mounted Police, as he prepares to depart from Lower Fort Garry. We learn about his sturdy upbringing in Upper Canada, heavily influenced by military traditions, and his aspirations to serve the Queen. The narrative takes us through Hector’s formative years, including his early military ambitions, the devastating loss of his sister, and the subsequent challenges that lead him to accept his role as a mounted constable. As he embarks on this significant journey, he forges connections with fellow officers and begins to understand the gravity of his responsibilities amidst the untamed wilderness and burgeoning settlements. This portion sets the stage for his development, highlighting the conflicts between duty, personal ambition, and the complexities of the society he is destined to serve.
