"Benton of the Royal Mounted: A Tale of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police" by Ralph S. Kendall is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of Sergeant Ellis Benton, a member of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, set against the backdrop of the Canadian West during an era of lawlessness and adventure. The narrative explores themes of duty, camaraderie, and personal struggle within the
framework of a formidable policing force that embodies authority and justice. The opening of the tale paints a vivid picture of the Mounted Police Post at L Division and introduces Sergeant Benton returning from a day of patrol. It highlights the contrast between the raucous camaraderie in the canteen and the solitude of Benton, who is weary yet introspective about his life. We learn about his complex character, marked by a hardened exterior and a deep-seated sensitivity, which is revealed through his interactions with other officers and his reactions to both the light-heartedness and the stark realities of his role. The chapter sets the stage for Benton's journey as he grapples with the challenges of his profession and the personal demons that linger from his past. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
