William MacDougall [McDougall]
Description
McDougall had been sent to the Red River to assume the office of Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Territories before the actual transfer of power from the Hudson's Bay Company to the Canadian government had taken place. He was turned back by the Métis and issued this "proclamation" from Pembina, North Dakota.
