Description
This chapter of Reginald Beatty's diary describes his experiences as a Free-Trader in the winter of 1884-1885. The Northwest Resistance is underway and Beatty, now travelling alone, arrives at Fort-a-la-Corne in the spring of 1885. Beatty offers a sympathetic view of the causes of the Resistance, based on his experiences with Aboriginals and Metis throughout Saskatchewan in his travels during 1884-1885.
