This volume is presented to the public in the hope that it will supply a want long felt for a complete and reliable account of the events which make up the history of the Province of Manitoba, down to the close of What is well known as the Red River Rebellion. That part of the work written by the late Hon. Donald Gunn, is presented Without any material alterations in the manuscript prepared by him; while that portion furnished by the writer was collected from the most reliable sources. As the space was limited, no attempt has been made to record the events of civil government which constitute the several administrations since the formation of the-province; nor has it been an object to forecast the future greatness which the destiny of Manitoba comprehends. These things have been left for a second volume, which it is the intention of the undersigned to publish early next year. The present work is therefore intended to furnish the early history of the N orth-west, together with a full narrative of the troubles which were connected with the entrance of Manitoba into the Confederation.
