Letters, diaries, and journals in Ontario Archives

Letter, Geo T. Denison (Humboldt) to W.A. Foster (Toronto) | June 17, 1885
Though pleased with the outcome of the Battle of Batoche, he deplores
"the fullsome flattery of the Press" and "the braggart boasting of many men
who have written home letters which have been published." Sympathetic to
the Indians, he makes harsh reference to the "breach of faith" which led to
Col. Otter's attack on Poundmaker.
