Prisoner Louis Riel in the camp of Major-General Frederick Middleton
1885, by James Peters

Following the capture of Batoche, Peters took this image of an imprisoned Louis Riel in Major-General Middleton's camp. Riel was later charged with having violated his "allegiance, fidelity and obedience" to the Queen. Despite his American citizenship and questionable sanity, Riel was found guilty and was hanged on November 16, 1885.
