| Robert Mackay in jail, all for research of course |
An early scene in “Soldier of the
Horse” involves the protagonist, Tom Macrae, getting thrown into the local
gaol. In reality, my father (alter ego of Macrae) never told me he actually saw
the inside of a cell, and it probably didn’t happen. Even so, I got a big kick
out of finding a salvaged jail cell in a Winnipeg museum.
Did Tom Mackay ever scratch his
name onto the wall of the steel-clad cell? Not that I could see!
