Diary of Francis Dickens provides a compelling firsthand account of the life and service of Francis Jeffrey Dickens, the third son of the celebrated novelist Charles Dickens. This personal journal focuses on his tenure as an officer in the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) in Canada during the late 19th century, offering a unique perspective on the administration of law and order in the Canadian West.

The narrative details the daily routines, hardships, and responsibilities of a mounted policeman stationed in remote outposts. Dickens recounts his experiences during a period of significant social and political tension, including his involvement in events surrounding the North-West Resistance. His entries provide invaluable insights into the relationship between the police, the local Indigenous communities, and the growing settler population.
