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.

A photograph of the government's surveyors corps of scouts during the 1885 uprising, probably taken at Qu'Appelle prior to Middleton's march north. The men appear to be armed with lever action repeating rifles and pistols.
A photograph of grenadiers of the Northwest Field Force (Canadian Army) at Fish Creek, NWT, 1885. It is unclear from the shot whether it was taken during the battle, or afterwards while Middleton's troops camped there. Many of the grenadiers are lying prone on the ground which seems to indicate that they are engaged in firing.
Image of Captain John French, killed at Batoche. On back of photo: "An old French halfbreed, named Ross, was standing at the corner of a house nearly opposite Batoche's house, and fired the fatal shot, then made a run for cover, but paid the penalty for shooting French just before reading it."
A historic cairn commemorating the Battle of Cut Knife Hill (probably the same as detail shot in S-B6015: see S-B6015 for text of marker) flanked by two tipis, the red ensign flag, and an unveiling platform.
"Comprising a full and impartial account of the origin and progress of the war ... scenes in the field, the camp, and the cabin; including a history of the Indian tribes of North-Western Canada," including chapters about Poundmaker.
Image of a house used as a barracks by the Metis during the Northwest Resistance. On back of photo: "House built in 1879 and Â’80 by Xavier Batoche. Used as store and dwelling. In 1885 used as barracks by the Metis."
