But it was Grandmother Jane’s story Dennis liked best: her life at the Red River Settlement (now Winnipeg), her adventures crossing the prairie in an ox cart and raising her large family in a sod hut. Dennis became proud to be Métis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis is a fascinating tale of love between a Métis woman and a flamboyant Irishman. Their romance, though not traditional in any way, was symbolized by the ring given to Jane as a token of his undying love. It remains today as a legacy to the many descendants of this remarkable couple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor more info on this Author, please see: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynhancock.com\/lyns-biography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eBiography | Lyn Hancock | Life is always a story adventure c\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e1st Edition \u0026amp; Signed by Author  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eISBN: 97809811093307  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eGC\u0026amp;C Stock #5165\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47901753639142,"sku":"5165","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6212\/8614\/files\/5165_1.jpg?v=1781822202","url":"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/the-ring-memories-of-a-metis-grandmother-by-lyn-hancock-and-marion-w-dowler-1st-ed-signed","provider":"Gillmore Coins \u0026 Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
