here's some notes on the topic:
As new arrivals try to take up residence in Edmonton area where people are already living, a violent struggle arises between "old timers" and the new "squatters". Matthew McCauley is named to head a settlers rights protective association. He and others throw a squatter's shack over the edge of the river valley.
Protective Association did not "manage to produce peace and order" or, if it did, it did so by itself not destroying other people's shanties.
its job was not to preserve law and order but to prevent squatters from taking up land held or thought to be held by old timers, and it enforced that rule by destroying people's shanties if they would not move themselves. 68.150.205.46 (talk) 07:12, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
