The Rifles is a novel by American writer William T. Vollmann which was first published in 1994. It is the sixth book in a planned seven-book cycle entitled Seven Dreams: A Book of North American Landscapes, however it was only the third to be published. (As of 2006 four of the seven books have been published.)
Unlike the other books in this series (so far), The Rifles is not strictly speaking an historical novel, as it primarily takes place in the modern day (early 1990s), although the storyline depicting the trials and challenges of modern Inuit life is tied to the ill-fated exploration of the Arctic region by Sir John Franklin in the mid-19th century.
