A typed copy of Inspector Francis Dickens's North West Mounted Police journal from Fort Pitt in 1885. Recounts the events of the Resistance, the skirmish and subsequent abandonment of Fort Pitt by Dickens who was in command of the installation when hostilities broke out.
Historical note:
Compiled by David Ross, Military Curator, Prairie and Northern Region, Department of the Environment, December 1986. The original handwritten journal was donated to Parks Canada, Fort Battleford National Historic Park by Mr. & Mrs. F. A. Lindsay of Ottawa, 27 April 1970. It is probable that this is the Fort Pitt NWMP Post Journal rather than Dickens' personal journal.Author/Creator
