Content:
"This compilation begins in the "twilight period" that followed the amalgamation of the North West and Hudson Bay companies, and extends into the years of fresh economic activity that enlivened the district in the late 19th century. "The Introduction and the Documents are arranged with the idea of stressing the peculiarities of Thunder Bay history, especially for the reader unacquainted with it," explained Elizabeth Arthur. Subjects covered include jurisdiction problems, the 1855 Wolseley expedition to Red River, vital surveying between 1855 and 1870, and the construction of the transcontinental railway."--Champlain Society
