Show detail Hide detail

The series consists of correspondence, petitions, affidavits, reports and returns accumulated by William B. Coltman and John Fletcher in the course of their investigation of the affairs of Lord Selkirk's colony and the Red River disturbances, 1815-1818. These records were segregated as a series with a number of documents generated by the efforts to resolve various questions arising out of the events at Red River. Many of the documents bear file numbers indicating their sequence of presentation as submissions to the Executive Council. Reintegration of these documents with those remaining in the "S Series" (RG 4, A 1) and reconstruction of the original order is planned.
