The publication is well illustrated with drawings of Louis Riel, Major L. N. F. Crozier, Red Pheasant, Fort Pitt, Big Bear, Capt. Dickens, Major-General F. D. Middleton, the map of the field of battle of Fish Creek, Lieut.-Col J. A. Ouimet, the scene of the fight at Cut Knife Hill, Colonel W. D. Otter, and Crowfoot and his chiefs.
