Subject:	Riel, Louis, Diary, Auction, Fisher, Dennis, Rheaume, Eugene
Description:	These files relate to the auction of Louis Riel`s Diary in 1971 in Montréal. In 1971, Dennis Fisher accompanied Eugène Rhéaume who bought Riel`s diary for more than $26,000 in order to keep it from leaving Canada. For a brief period in the 1970s, Dennis Fisher briefly had the diary in his home, and made a photocopy of it. This scan is of that original photocopy, which is in the possession of the Gabriel Dumont Institute. These scans are part of the Dennis and Jean Fisher Collection. This collection contains archaeological artifacts taken from the battlefields of the 1885 Resistance as well as Fort Pitt (Saskatchewan), Cumberland House (Saskatchewan) and St. Peter’s Mission, Montana. The collection also includes various artifacts and ephemera relating to the 1885 Resistance and Gabriel Dumont.
