Part of Military Collection
A 28 cm X 36 cm coil-bound scrapbook with about 40 pages containing news articles glued on them. There is a series of articles from the Regina Daily Star of March and April, 1935 consisting of a "narrative that has been unearthed among privately owned archives and for the first time is being made available to the public." The newspaper does not identify the author of the articles. It is not clear if the last chapter (XXI) is the last one but its last section is entitled "To Be Hanged" so it may be. A number of articles by Zachary Hamilton examine various aspects and people of the conflict. Most of the remaining articles are about E.J. Brooks but the concluding one is about Harriett Gerry of Indian Head who nursed in a variety of First Nations throughout Canada (see IHM.2020.0322).
