The First Expedition for the Relief of Battleford Attacked by Halfbreeds - Sketch. - 1885.

Note: The title of this document uses wording that was common to mainstream society of that time period in history. As such, it contains language that is no longer in common use and may offend some readers. This wording should not be construed to represent the views of the Indigenous Studies Portal or the University of Saskatchewan Library. A sketch of a steamboat, possibly the Northcote, coming under Metis fire during the Northwest Resistance. The title is apparently erroneous as there was only one relief expedition to Battleford and it neither came under fire or involved river boats. Probably from an Eastern newspaper with misinformation on Resistance events.
