Key & Compass presents:
Major Charles Boulton and the Northwest Rebellion
by Shawn Graham

Major Charles Boulton and the Northwest Rebellion is a Z-machine interactive fiction story written with Inform 7 and is © 2007 by Shawn Graham.

This tiny, incomplete, and goal-less story is based on Reminiscences of the North-West Rebellions by Major Charles A. Boulton, Commanding Boulton's Scouts Toronto, 1886. It's mostly asking two people about a bayonette and little else.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on Release 1 of the story.

SPOILERS AHEAD. Reading a walkthrough prematurely can sometimes diminish one's enjoyment of an interactive fiction story. Please make an honest effort to play the story before reading this walkthrough.

I assume you're visiting Charles in his home, but the story never says who you are, where this place is, or why you're there.

As far as I can tell, that's all there is to this story. There's no goal to accomplish. There's no ending. So after you've seen everything and asked all your questions, just quit.
