Description:	This document, written during the 1885 Resistance, is part of a battlefield manuscript written by Lieutenant Colonel A.C.D. Pigott of Boulton’s Scouts. Pigott’s manuscript documents Poundmaker’s, Louis Riel’s and General Middleton’s correspondence during the 1885 Resistance. This item is part of the A.C.D. Pigott Collection, which was acquired by the Gabriel Dumont Institute in October 1991 by the Ted Pappas family of Vancouver, British Columbia. The collection includes: Louis Riel’s English-French dictionary, Lieutenant Colonel Pigott’s 1885 Resistance battlefield manuscript, and a number of artifacts taken off the battlefield including: an inscribed watch, a pipe, a bullet maker and a buffalo powder horn (both from the Métis trenches), a carved wooden container taken from Big Bear’s camp, a First Nations decorative bracelet and horsehair braiding, which may have been traded for food by somebody captured by the Boulton’s Scouts.
