Series consists of a more extended account of McGillivray's captivity written using the diary as an aide-mémoire and intended to be sent east for publication. The account is quite detailed and conveys well the intensity of feeling and the general atmosphere of the period. Although McGillivray obviously hoped that the publicizing of his imprisonment would have propaganda value, the two rival fur companies amalgamated only months afterwards and in the aftermath of union, the parties involved undoubtedly found it politic to ignore McGillivray's imprisonment.
