Creator:	Grip P. & P. Co.
Subject:	Illustrated War News, 1885 Resistance, Métis, Lamour, Big Bear, Major-General Strange
Description:	This page contains two images, which are in a horizontal and washed-out green format. The top image: “Mr. Lamour’s Portable Rifle Pits in Action” include the following text below: “Firing from the knee-side view”; “Advancing upon the enemy”; and “Firing From the Knee-front View”. These portable fortifications were used to prevent Métis sharpshooters from killing green Canadian soldiers. Their effectiveness was likely questionable. The second image “Big Bear, the Last of the Rebels” is a stereotypical image of Big Bear that shows him to be dumbfounded in the presence of Major-General Strange. The caption from this image reads: “Big Bear, from a photograph”; “Major-General Strange, commanding the Brigade operating from Edmonton, from a photograph by Livernois, of Quebec” and “Fort Pitt, from a photograph by Stanton, of Toronto”.
