<p>The motto of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is <i>'Uphold the right'</i>, and today Mounties uphold the right in modern cities as well as in the furthest arctic. More than eighty years ago, a handful of them upheld the right in the face of the mightiest odds that man and wilderness can offer.

No one Mountie was greater than another - for they were all heroes.</p><p>Optimized for Kindle devices and featuring Panel Zoom facility.</p><i><p>From its beginnings in the 1940’s to today, Classics Illustrated continues to encourage a love of reading and adventure in youthful minds through beautifully-illustrated comic book adaptations of the world’s most beloved stories by the world’s greatest authors.</p><p>A collection of Classics Illustrated books is an inviting start to any young person’s library.</p></i>
