Reminiscences of Rossburn Pioneers and Early Years
A fragmentary reminiscence recounts Chief Waywayseecappo, Mission history, and early Scots settlers around Rossburn Manitoba from 1870s to 1890s. It notes smallpox outbreaks, a hospital at a Catholic Mission, Treaty context, and families such as Manson, Russell, and Dunccan son, plus an 1880 voyage of Margaret Russell to Canada and settlement at Rossburn.
