INTRODUCTION


This Supplement is designed to supply a double need: it furnishes an
analytical index to the entire series of twenty volumes; and it affords
a great deal of additional information, bearing on the subject-matter of
these volumes, but which from its very nature it was impossible to
incorporate in the text. This additional information includes
biographical sketches of the characters mentioned in each volume;
similar sketches of prominent Canadians who for one reason or another do
not appear in any of the twenty volumes; and brief descriptions of wars,
battles, treaties, and political and other events having a vital bearing
on the history of Canada. References have been added, wherever
necessary, to the principal sources which the student may consult for
further information. The whole has been thrown into one alphabetical
arrangement, and it constitutes, to a large extent, a dictionary of
Canadian history.

To satisfy further the desire of those who, after reading the foregoing
volumes, find it profitable to investigate more fully certain lines of
inquiry suggested by the narratives, it has been thought advisable to
add a list of manuscript sources from which new material may be gleaned.
The collection of documents most convenient for this purpose is to be
found in the Dominion Archives. It is not possible in the present work
to do more than indicate the principal documents, as there are fifteen
thousand volumes of manuscript in the Archives bearing on Canadian
history. The sources indicated here are drawn principally from the
series designated A, B, C, F, Q, M. The letter refers to the series, and
the number to the volume. The Calendars published by the Archives in the
Annual Reports should also be consulted by the student. For convenience
of reference, it has been deemed preferable to group the manuscript
sources under general headings, and print the list as a separate section
in the volume.

In the preparation of the bibliographical references, the object has
been to include only those works that have a direct and vital bearing on
the subject. A complete bibliography in each case would obviously be
neither possible nor desirable. Nor, except in special cases, has any
attempt been made to include articles or papers in periodicals or in the
publications of learned societies. It will be sufficient to make a
general reference here to some of the more important sources of
information on the many topics covered in this volume. First among these
sources probably should rank the publications of the Royal Society of
Canada. The Society has published in a separate volume a very full
General Index to its _Proceedings and Transactions_, 1882-1906, compiled
by Dr. Benjamin Sulte. For volumes subsequent to 1906, the individual
indexes should be consulted. A key to the Annual Reports of the
Geological Survey of Canada is found in two General Indexes, one
covering the years 1863-1884, and the other the years 1885-1906. The
latter, compiled by F. J. Nicolas, is very complete. Wurtele's Index to
the _Transactions_ and other Publications of the Literary and Historical
Society of Quebec, 1829-1891, furnishes a guide to the material issued
by this oldest of Canadian learned societies. Unfortunately, no general
index is available for the publications of the Canadian Institute, which
cover a very wide and important field; nor for those of the Historical
and Scientific Society of Manitoba, the Ontario Historical Society, the
Nova Scotia Historical Society, and various other Canadian institutions
of a similar character. Much important material, bearing on, or
supplementary to, the topics treated in the several volumes of the
_Makers of Canada_ will be found in the foregoing publications. The
reader may also find it profitable in many cases to consult the
publications of the American Historical Association, and the State
Historical Societies of New York, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota. A great deal of important material is also to be found in
Canadian and other periodicals. Of the more significant of these, the
_Revue Canadienne_ marked the completion of its fifty-third volume in
1907 by publishing in separate form a comprehensive Index to the entire
series up to that year. In consulting other Canadian magazines,
reference must in most cases be made to the individual indexes in each
volume. The series of the _Canadian Monthly_ and the _New Dominion
Monthly_ are, however, fully covered by Poole's _Index_; the _Canadian
Magazine_, to a large extent, by Wilson's _Guide to Periodical
Literature_, as well as by a General Index published by the magazine in
1907. A key to the publications of several Canadian historical societies
and periodicals, since the year 1906, is furnished by the _Magazine
Subject-Index_ (Boston). The three admirable American guides mentioned
above, that is, Poole's _Index_, Wilson's _Guide_, and the _Magazine
Subject-Index_, with their annual or cumulative supplements, provide
also a key to the great body of literature in the principal American and
English periodicals, bearing on Canadian topics.

Among other important guides to Canadian subjects, historical,
political, biographical, social, literary, and scientific, should be
mentioned the _Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada_,
edited by Wrong and Langton; Larned's _Literature of American History_,
which includes a section on Canada; the various encyclopaedias; the
annual bibliographies of Canadian scientific work published in the
_Transactions_ of the Royal Society of Canada; Gagnon's _Essai de
Bibliographie Canadienne_; Morgan's _Bibliotheca Canadensis_; James's
_Bibliography of Canadian Verse_; Horning and Burpee's _Bibliography of
Canadian Fiction_; Tanguay's _Dictionnaire Genealogique des Familles
Canadiennes_; and the very full bibliographies of material published in
or about the province of Quebec, by Dr. N. E. Dionne. A general
reference may also be made here, for all subjects in this volume
relating to Canadian history, to such general works as those of Parkman,
Kingsford, Bourinot, Dent, McMullen, Ferland, Faillon, Charlevoix,
Bibaud, Garneau, Sulte, Miles, Christie, Haliburton, Murdoch, Campbell,
Hannay, Bryce, and Begg. In addition to the principal source of Canadian
manuscript material, the Archives at Ottawa, a large number of important
documents will be found in the Provincial Archives at Halifax, Quebec,
Toronto, Winnipeg, and Victoria, as well as in the universities of
Laval, McGill, and Toronto. Finally, reference may be made to the
various biographical dictionaries in the accompanying list.

The inclusion in the Supplement of several names of Canadians, both
living and dead, who are not of the very first importance, and the
omission of others who filled at least as important a place in the
history of the country, will be explained largely by the fact that the
former were incidentally mentioned somewhere in the series, and
therefore had to be included, while the latter were not.

few miles above its junction with the St. Lawrence. The Indian town was

=Acadia.= The name Acadia or "la Cadie" is found as early as Nov. 8,
1603, in the commission of Henry IV appointing Pierre du Gua, Sieur de
Monts, lieutenant-general in La Cadie, extending from the fortieth to
the forty-sixth degree of north latitude. The limits were afterwards
reduced, and the boundaries of Acadia became a cause of contention
between France and England. France claimed that the English possessions
were restricted to the peninsula of Nova Scotia, and that the territory
now known as New Brunswick had not been ceded to England. The first
settlement in Acadia was on the Island of St. Croix in 1604, but the
following year it was transferred to Port Royal, and abandoned in 1607.
Three years later the Sieur de Poutrincourt established a new settlement
at Port Royal, which was destroyed by Argall in 1613. In September,
1621, James I granted the territory of Acadia, under the name of Nova
Scotia, to Sir William Alexander. This grant was renewed in July, 1625,
by Charles I. A small Scottish settlement was established at Port Royal
by the grantee. Acadia was restored to France by the treaty of St.
Germain-en-Laye in 1632, and during the same year new settlers were
brought from France. Acadia was finally ceded to Great Britain by the
treaty of Utrecht in 1713. =Index=: =Ch= Its resources and limits, 18;

=Acadia College.= Situated at Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Founded by the
Nova Scotia Baptist Education Society, 1838. Application made to the
Nova Scotia Assembly for incorporation as "The Trustees, Governors and
Fellows of the Queen's College." The corporation created with university
powers, 1840. At the next meeting of the Legislature its name changed to
Acadia College. Power of appointing governors transferred from the
Education Society to the Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces,
1851. Final changes in the Act of Incorporation, 1891. =Index=: =H=

=Acadians.= The first permanent settlers were those who came with De
Razilly in 1632, and from these the Acadians of to-day are descended.
Other French immigrants were brought by d'Aulnay de Charnisay from 1639
to 1649, and by La Tour and Le Borgne in 1651 and 1658 respectively.
There were also small immigrations at divers later dates. The first
general nominal census was taken in 1671, and gave a population of 392
souls. In 1686 there were 885 persons in Acadia. Seven years later the
inhabitants numbered 1018. When Acadia was ceded to Britain in 1713, the
Acadian population was 2500. Although from 1713 to 1745 a number of
families had escaped to the new French colonies of Isle Royale and Isle
St. Jean (now Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island), still in 1749, when
the British settled Halifax, there were about 12,500 Acadians in the
province. Another large influx of population to the same colonies, and
to the St. John River, took place between 1749 and 1755, yet there
remained in the latter year in the peninsula and in the Isthmus of
Chignecto some 10,000 inhabitants, of whom nearly 7000 were deported in
1755. The rest escaped to the woods; some went to Miramichi, and later
to Baie des Chaleurs; others crossed over to the Isles Royale and St.
Jean, and quite a number found their way to St. John River, and from
thence to the province of Quebec. The whole population of Acadians in
the peninsula, the Isthmus of Chignecto, the St. John River, Isle
Royale, and Isle St. Jean, at the time of the expulsion, is computed at
16,000. =Bib.=: Murdoch, _History of Nova Scotia_; Campbell, _History of
Nova Scotia_; Haliburton, _Historical and Statistical Account of Nova
Scotia_; Hannay, _History of Acadia_; Raymond, _St. John River_; Gaudet,

=Acadians, Expulsion of the.= Governor Lawrence in 1755, with the advice
of his Council and of Admirals Boscawen and Mostyn, but apparently
without consulting the home government, decided that the Acadians must
be deported from Nova Scotia. The reason for this decision was the
obstinate refusal of the Acadians to take the oath of allegiance, and
the conviction of the governor that the safety of the colony depended
upon their expulsion. In September, 1755, all preparations having been
made with the utmost secrecy, Monckton at Beausejour, Winslow at Grand
Pre, Murray at Piziquid, and Handfield at Annapolis, seized the
inhabitants and held them prisoners until the arrival of the transport
and provision ships. These having been delayed, the final embarkation
did not take place until late in December. The Acadians were distributed
among the British colonies along the Atlantic seaboard. Some hired
vessels in 1763, and sailed to Miquelon, and in 1767 and following years
returned gradually to their old Acadian home. Others came directly to
Nova Scotia in 1766, there being no longer any reason for their
exclusion, while others went north to Quebec or south to Louisiana. The
present Acadian population in the three Maritime Provinces is over
150,000, and these are the descendants of the few families who escaped
deportation, and of those who returned from exile. =Index=: _See_

States in the capacity of plenipotentiary. In 1796 presented to the
United States Congress the tricolour flag on behalf of the French
nation; and the following year, handed to the secretary of state the

government of breach of neutrality, stated that the republic would give
to every neutral flag the same treatment that the latter would get from
Great Britain. =Index=: =Dr= French minister to United States, intrigues

=Agriculture.= Societies for improving the conditions of agriculture
were founded in Nova Scotia, 1789; in Quebec the same year; and in Upper
Canada in 1792. Simcoe in Upper Canada and Dorchester in Quebec did much
to further agricultural interests, but Quebec owes most to J. F.
Perrault (_q.v._), and Nova Scotia to John Young (_q.v._). An
agricultural school was founded at Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere in 1859;
the Guelph Agricultural College was established in 1874; the Nova
Scotia School of Agriculture, 1885; and the Macdonald College, at Ste.
Anne de Bellevue, opened in the fall of 1907. Agricultural Colleges are

=Alaska Boundary Question.= Arose out of differences of opinion as to
the interpretation of the 1828 Convention between Russia and Great
Britain, and particularly as to the boundary of the coast strip. The
United States contention was that the boundary should follow a line
approximately parallel to the coast and thirty marine miles distant
therefrom; the Canadian, that it should follow the summit of the first
range, crossing many of the inlets near their mouths. The decision of
the Joint Commission of 1903 did not concede the United States claims in
full, but gave them an unbroken littoral, substantially what they had
contended for. =Index=: =D= Effect of Russian occupation, 38; early

Came to Canada from Scotland, 1826, and in 1831 entered the shipbuilding
firm of James Millar & Co., Montreal, of which he became a partner in
1835. In 1853 his firm began building iron screw steamships, and their
first vessel, the _Canadian_, made its first voyage in 1855. The
following year, with a fleet of four vessels, a regular service was
opened between Canada and England, with fortnightly sailings. In 1859
the fleet was increased to eight steamers, and a weekly service opened.
From these small beginnings, the Allan Line has risen to a foremost

Upper Canada. Elected to Legislative Assembly for constituency of
Durham, Simcoe, and E. York, 1800, but unseated by the Assembly, June,
1801. Under the direction of Lieutenant-Governor Hunter, engaged in the
preparation of a bill to establish a Court of Equity in the province,
and was to have been the first chancellor of the Court. The Court of
Equity, however, was not at this time established, and on the removal of
Chief-Justice Elmsley to Lower Canada, October, 1802, was appointed
chief-justice of Upper Canada, and a member of the Executive and
Legislative Councils. On the death of Elmsley, promoted to chief-justice
of Lower Canada, July 1, 1805. In August, 1806, took his seat as a
member of the Executive Council, and in January, 1807, appointed a

=Allsopp, George.= Settled in Quebec, 1761, and became prominent in
maintaining the rights of the civil authority as opposed to the
military. January, 1766, appointed deputy secretary, clerk of the
Council, and registrar of enrolments, but because of his opposition to
the government, Murray refused to admit him to office. In April, 1768,
Carleton confirmed him in these appointments, which he retained until
superseded by George Pownall in 1775. From 1771 to 1776 deputy
commissary-general. One of the original members of the Legislative
Council, under the Quebec Act. In 1780, when the Legislative Council
presented an address to Haldimand opposing the passing of an ordinance
amending the judicial system of the province in accordance with royal
instructions to the governor, voted against the address and caused a
strongly worded protest to be entered in the minutes of the Council.
This action resented by members of the Council, and ultimately led to

=American Invasion= (1775-1776). Grew out of the belief entertained by
the rebellious colonists that the French of Canada could readily be won
to their side. As a matter of fact the latter, while for the most part
showing no enthusiasm to join Carleton's forces, were still less
inclined to cooperate with the invading army under Montgomery and
Arnold, or to support the movement for union with the New Englanders. On
the other hand, the Americans had a number of English-speaking
sympathizers in Montreal--men who had come there from the colonies to
the south. This, and its geographical position, made the capture of
Montreal an easy matter; but Quebec was a different problem. Here
Carleton gathered a small but efficient force of regulars and militia,
and successfully held the town against the invading army. Montgomery was
killed in the assault, Dec. 31, 1775, and in the spring of 1776 the
siege was raised. The invading army hastily retreated to Montreal, and
finally was driven out of the country. =Index=: =P= Joseph Papineau

waters east of Kamchatka, and examine the American coast. After a
three-years' journey overland, reached the eastern coast of Siberia,
built vessels there, and in 1728 followed the coast north to the Arctic,
proving that Asia and America were not united. In 1733 set out again on
the long overland journey, hampered with a huge retinue, and it was not
until 1741 that his ships were ready at Petropaulovsk. Sailed to the
east, reached and explored the American coast, and was wrecked on what

=Bering Sea Question.= Arose out of a dispute as to the seal-fisheries
of Bering Sea. Several Canadian sealers were seized by the United States
in 1886, on the plea that these waters constituted a _mare clausum_, or
closed sea. Similar seizures were made in 1887 and 1889. Finally the
British and United States governments agreed to submit the question to
arbitration. The Commission met at Paris in 1893. Lord Hannen and Sir
John Thompson represented British interests; the United States was
represented by Judge Harlan and Senator Morgan. The other arbitrators
were Marquis Visconti Venosta of Italy, Gregora W. Gram of Sweden, and
Baron de Courcel of Belgium, who presided. The decision was in favour of
Great Britain, and contrary to the claim of the United States to
jurisdiction over the waters of the Bering Sea and the seals visiting
the coasts and islands of Alaska. Regulations were provided for the
better protection of the fisheries; and the United States was required
to compensate the Canadian sealers for the unlawful seizure of their
vessels. =Index=: =D= Influenced by Russian occupation, 38; settled

merchants whose property had been captured by British cruisers were to
be indemnified from the product of such seizures; no British ships were
to be admitted into any port of France, or her allies; every vessel
eluding this rule was to be confiscated. The object of the decrees was
to close the continent against British commerce. The British government
retaliated by issuing an order-in-council, refusing to neutrals the
right of trading from one hostile port to another. =Index=: =Bk=

Had won distinction as a soldier in the service of France; and in 1604
sailed with De Monts and Champlain to Acadia. Was so charmed with Port
Royal that he determined to make it his home. De Monts made him a grant
of the lands about Annapolis Basin, which the king confirmed. Went back
to France and brought out his family to the new settlement. Accompanied
Champlain in his exploration of the Bay of Fundy. Jesuit missionaries
were sent out to Port Royal, whom Poutrincourt, although a good Roman
Catholic, found far from congenial. Their relations became more and more
strained, and when Poutrincourt sailed to France in 1613, the Jesuits
succeeded in having him thrown into prison. Regained his liberty and
returned to Acadia, but found Port Royal in ashes. Returned to France

powerful enough to extricate him from this scrape, and to secure him the
office of intendant of New France, 1748. Sailed for Quebec and arrived

put in final shape at the Westminster Conference, 1866; passed by the
Imperial Parliament, and proclaimed, 1867. The essential feature of this
Act, and that which distinguishes it most clearly from the Constitution
of the United States, is the provision that all matters not specifically
assigned to the provinces belong to the Dominion, the reverse being the
case under the United States Constitution. Broadly speaking, the Act
gives the Dominion exclusive jurisdiction over the regulation of trade
and commerce, the postal service, customs and inland revenue, military
and naval service, navigation and shipping, currency and coinage,
banking, weights and measures, patents and copyrights, naturalization,
Indians. To the provinces it gives exclusive jurisdiction over direct
taxation, management and sale of public lands, timber, provincial
prisons, hospitals, asylums, etc., municipal institutions,
administration of justice, education. =Index=: =Md= Conference in

for South Africa from Quebec, Oct. 30, 1899, numbered 1141. The second
contingent, which sailed from Halifax in January and February, 1900,
mustered 1320. These two contingents comprised the official Canadian
contribution to the British forces in the war, but Lord Strathcona also
raised a contingent at his own expense. This contingent, known as
Strathcona's Horse, sailed from Halifax in March, 1900, the force
numbering 540 officers and men, and 599 horses. Over 3000 Canadians
therefore took part in the war against the Boers. Throughout the
operations in South Africa, the Canadians signally distinguished
themselves, particularly at the battle of Paardeberg on Feb. 27, 1900,
when with the Gordon Highlanders and the Shropshires they led the final
attack on Cronje's position. =Bib.=: Evans, _The Canadian Contingents_;

physical sciences, the arts and the manufactures," etc. Among the early
presidents were Sir W. E. Logan, Sir Henry Lefroy, Sir John Beverley
Robinson, George W. Allan, W. H. Draper, Sir Daniel Wilson, and Sir

periodicals bearing the name of _Canadian Magazine_, the earliest
published at Montreal in 1823; a second published at Toronto in 1833;
another at Toronto, 1871; and the present periodical of the same name,
which dates from 1893. Of the earlier magazines, the _Literary Garland_

=Canals.= The earliest canal in Canada and in North America was that at
Lachine, which dates back to the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Between 1779 and 1783, lock canals were built by the Royal Engineers, at
the Coteau and the Cascades, on the St. Lawrence. In 1798 a boat canal
was built at Sault Ste. Marie by the North West Company. A canal to
connect the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain was advocated as early as
1775, by Silas Deane of Connecticut, but was not actually undertaken
until 1831. The Welland Canal was commenced in 1824; and the Rideau
Canal two years later. These artificial waterways of Canada are

Their fighting strength is given in the _Relation_ of 1660 as 300. At
this time, however, they had been weakened by continual warfare. The
Cayuga villages stood on the shore of Cayuga Lake, and their territory
extended from that lake to the Owasco, both included. The tribe lay
between the Senecas on the west and the Onondagas on the east. By the
beginning of the nineteenth century they had been crowded off their
ancestral lands, and scattered abroad. Some seven hundred are now on the
Six Nation reserve, in the Niagara peninsula. The remainder are for the
most part in the western United States. =Index=: =Ch= Iroquois tribe,

unmarried men, 35; boys (30 born in Canada), 58; girls (24 born in

of 1665 gives the total population as 3251. The first census of the
Dominion was taken in 1871, when the population was 3,635,024; the

Matchadash Bay, an inlet of Georgian Bay. Even here the Iroquois
followed them, and attacked the mission of St. Jean, Dec. 7, 1649.
Chabanel had left the place a short time before, and so escaped the
general massacre. He, however, fell a victim to one of his own Hurons,
who confessed that he had murdered the missionary and thrown his body
into a river. =Index=: =L= Died a martyr, 62. =Bib.=: Parkman, _Jesuits

=Champlain Lake.= Discovered by Samuel Champlain, July, 1609. Here took
place the first hostile encounter between the French and the Iroquois.
The French were the aggressors, and had bitter enough cause to remember
the fact throughout the century. In 1666 the Sieur de la Motte built a
fort on Ile La Motte, which was afterwards abandoned. Fort St. Frederic
was built at Crown Point, 1731. It was enlarged and strengthened in
1734, and again in 1742. Lake Champlain became the war thoroughfare, not
merely between the Iroquois and French, but between New France and New
England. Fort Carillon was built, 1755-1756. With this lake are
associated the names of Dieskau and Sir William Johnson, Montcalm and
Abercrombie, Ethan Allen and Montgomery. =Index=: =F= Champlain reaches,

Salaberry commanded the Canadian troops, with Colonel Macdonell in

superior force, the result of the battle was in favour of the Canadians;
and the contemplated attack on Montreal was abandoned. The battle was
won by French-Canadian militia under a French-Canadian commander. _See

towards America, until it became apparent that the colonists would be
satisfied with nothing less than independence. His broad outlook and
unerring instinct in the choice of men were chiefly responsible for the

=Company of New France (Compagnie des Cent-Associes).= Established,
1627, by Cardinal Richelieu, on the advice of Isaac de Razilly. A
monopoly of fifteen years was granted, with full ownership of the entire
valley of the St. Lawrence, in return for which the Company was to take
out three hundred colonists every year up to 1643. No serious effort was

the instance of Champlain, in 1614. The shares were divided among the
merchants of Rouen and St. Malo. The terms of their charter required the
Company to bring out colonists, but as usual they did not take this
obligation very seriously. They did, however, make one notable addition
to the population of New France, for in the spring of 1617 they brought
out Louis Hebert and his family. Hebert's experience as a colonist was
not such as to encourage others to follow his example. The Company's

of the Company of New France. Its field of operations was enormous,
covering the west coast of Africa, the east coast of South America from
the Amazon to the Orinoco, Canada, Acadia, and Newfoundland. The
Christianization of the native tribes was given as the principal object
of the Company, commerce being of only secondary importance. Despite its
many privileges, and the readiness with which its stock was subscribed,
it did not prosper, and by 1672 was hopelessly in debt. Three years
later its charter was revoked, so far as Canada was concerned. =Index=:

=Confederation.= The first definite step in the movement looking towards
the union of the British North American colonies, was the Charlottetown
Conference, 1864. Delegates from the three Maritime Provinces met to
consider the union of those provinces. At the Conference, delegates from
Canada (constituting what are now the provinces of Ontario and Quebec)
appeared, and urged the broadening of the discussion to cover all the
provinces. Out of this meeting grew the Quebec Conference, of the same
year, attended by delegates from Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland; the two latter subsequently
withdrew from the movement. The Quebec Conference drew up a series of
resolutions, which were made the basis of the final legislation. In 1866
delegates from the provinces met at the Westminster Hotel in London, and
framed the British North America Act. The Act was passed by the Imperial
Parliament, and received the queen's assent, March, 1867. It was
proclaimed throughout the new Dominion of Canada, July 1, 1867. Manitoba
was created a province, July 15, 1870. British Columbia joined the
union, July 20, 1871; and Prince Edward Island, July 1, 1873. The
provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were created Sept. 1, 1905.

=Duquesne de Menneville, Michel Ange, Marquis de.= Appointed governor of
New France 1752, in succession to La Jonquiere. His policy was to
intercept communication between New England and the western Indians and
thus to restore the Indians to dependence on France. In the spring of

fort was built at Presque Isle and another, Fort Le Boeuf, inland on
River Le Boeuf. Disease made ravages among the troops, and while 300

to Montreal, and Duquesne's plans for a further advance were frustrated.

Petersburg on special mission, 1833. Ambassador to Russia, 1836. Sent to
Canada in 1838 to bring order out of the chaos of the Rebellion. His
famous Report followed. His policy in Canada excited much opposition
both in Great Britain and Canada. The House of Lords voted disapproval
of some of his acts, and he took the extraordinary step of returning to
England without either being recalled or obtaining the royal consent.
Nevertheless the wisdom of his recommendations has since been abundantly
justified. Died at Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, soon after his return.

=Fenian Raids.= The Fenian Brotherhood is said to have been formed about

Ireland from its connection with England, and establish a republic. A
history of the movement in Ireland will be found in McCarthy's _History
of our Own Times_, and in O'Leary's _Recollections of Fenianism_. Early
in 1866 the American branch of the Brotherhood planned an invasion of
Canada. The Canadian militia was called out, but the invasion was
postponed. In April, the New Brunswick border was threatened, and troops
marched to the defence of St. Andrews and St. Stephen. The Fenians
thought better of it. Late in May another party, under one O'Neil,
crossed from Buffalo to Fort Erie and advanced to Ridgeway, where they
were driven back. In 1870 the same O'Neil led his followers into Quebec,
but was again repulsed. In 1871 he made a similar attempt in the West,
but a detachment of United States troops from Fort Pembina followed,
arrested him, and dispersed his followers. An aftermath of the earlier
Fenian Raids was the murder of Thomas D'Arcy McGee (_q.v._) in Ottawa,

changes in the land system of Upper Canada, attacked the administration
with so much energy that he was finally, after a grossly unfair trial,
expelled from the province. Returning to Scotland, devoted himself to
the preparation of his work on Upper Canada; lost most of his property
as the result of lawsuits; and imprisoned for a personal attack on Lord
Brougham in the lobby of the House of Commons. On his release, visited

without possibility of excuse and palliation, and the sentence declared
null and void." Did not, however, return to Canada until 1856, when he
was granted a pension of fifty pounds; this he refused because he
considered that his vindication had not been complete. Contested Oxford
County in 1860, but defeated; returned to Edinburgh, where he died.

=Hudson's Bay Company.= Organized by a number of English gentlemen, who
sent out a trading expedition to Hudson Bay, in the _Nonsuch_, in 1668.
This initial venture proved so successful that two other ships were sent
out in 1670; and the same year King Charles granted a charter
incorporating them as "The Governor and Company of Adventurers of
England trading into Hudson's Bay." For many years the operations of the
Company were confined to the shores of Hudson Bay, but the pressure of
competition eventually forced them inland, and at the height of their
power they had established trading-posts from Labrador to the Pacific,
and from California almost to the Arctic. In 1821, the rival North West
Company (_q.v._) was absorbed; and in 1869 the company surrendered to
Canada its territorial rights in British North America. =Index=: =F=

make an end of the Hurons. They invaded their country in force in 1648,
and in 1650 had destroyed all their villages, killed most of the
inhabitants, and driven the remnant far to the westward. A few of the
Hurons escaped to Quebec, and settled at the mission of Lorette. In the

thousand, at the end of the seventeenth century, to less than two
thousand about 1750. The murder of Pontiac by one of their warriors

in 1902, the colonial premiers met in London, under the presidency of
Joseph Chamberlain. The London Conference of 1907, presided over by Lord
Elgin, discussed various Imperial questions, but was chiefly memorable
because of the decision to hold similar meetings every four years, and
to provide a permanent bureau at London devoted specifically to the
interests of the Empire.

=Imperial Federation.= Advocated by Thomas Pownall, governor of
Massachusetts Bay, in 1764. He proposed a scheme by which "Great Britain

appendages of provinces, colonies, settlements, and other extraneous
parts, but as a grand marine dominion, consisting of our possessions in
the Atlantic and in America united into one Empire." Subsequently
proposed by Joseph Howe, in 1855, and again in 1863; also by Thomas
Chandler Haliburton and other Canadian statesmen and writers. =Index=:

1764 became assistant to Dr. Auchmuty, rector of Trinity Church, New
York, and in 1777 succeeded him as rector. His sympathies being with the
mother country, removed to Nova Scotia after the Revolution, and thence
to England. First bishop of Nova Scotia, with jurisdiction over
practically all British North America, 1787. One of the notable events
of his episcopate was his establishment of King's College, Windsor. In

=Institut Canadien.= A literary and scientific society, founded at
Montreal in 1844, and incorporated in 1852. It included among its early
members most of the leaders of the more progressive and independent
element in Quebec political life, among them A. A. Dorion, Eric Dorion,
Joseph Doutre, Rodolphe Laflamme, and Wilfrid Laurier. The success of
the parent society led to the founding of similar Instituts throughout
the province. Although popular among the laity, these societies
encountered the determined opposition of the Roman Catholic Church, led
by Bishop Bourget of Montreal. The outside societies yielded to clerical
pressure, but the Montreal Institut stood upon its rights. The fight
went on for many years, but finally most of the Roman Catholic members
dropped out, and the books and papers were transferred to the Fraser
Institute. =Bib.=: Willison, _Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Liberal
Party_.

=Intendant.= An office created originally by Richelieu, in France, and
transferred to New France. The first intendant of Canada was Robert,
appointed in 1663, who was succeeded two years later by the ablest
occupant of the office, Jean Talon. The intendant was charged with the
supervision of practically all the civil affairs of the colony,
including the administration of justice, but his most important
function, from the point of view of the court, was to act as a virtual
spy upon the acts of the governor. Inevitably, harmony was impossible
between these two officials, and the history of New France is punctuated
with their perpetual quarrels. =Index=: =F= Jean Talon appointed as, 51;

1863. Three engineers were to be appointed, one by the Imperial
government, one by Canada, and one by the Maritime Provinces. They all
nominated the same man, Sandford Fleming, by whom the surveys were
accordingly carried out. The railway was made a condition of the union
of the Maritime Provinces with Canada, and the work of construction was
pushed forward, the line being formally opened July 1, 1876. In 1871 the
Prince Edward Island Railway was begun, and in 1873 it became a portion
of the Intercolonial system. Other extensions and branches were built or
acquired, the line finally running from Sydney and Halifax to Montreal.

Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, and Seneca, to which the Tuscarora was added
after 1726, as well as the remnants of many other tribes. They were
known to the English colonists as the Five Nations, and later as the Six
Nations. They called themselves _Ongwanonsionni_, "we are of the
extended lodge." When they first came into contact with Europeans, they
occupied the country between Lake Champlain and the Genesee River, and
this remained their home territory, but they ranged far and wide,
carrying their conquering raids eastwards to the Kennebec, westwards to
Lake Michigan, north to the Hudson Bay watershed, and south to the
Tennessee. They numbered about 16,000 in 1677, and after dropping to
10,000 in the next century, they returned to their original strength at
the opening of the twentieth century. About two-thirds are on
reservations in Canada; the remainder in New York. =Index=: =F=

applied to the strip of coast from Cape Chidley to Blanc Sablon, forming
a dependency of the colony of Newfoundland. On various theories as to
origin of name, _see_ Ganong, _Cartography of Gulf of St. Lawrence_ (R.
S. C., 1889). The boundaries have long been in dispute between
Newfoundland and Canada, and the territory has several times changed
hands. The Labrador coast was first discovered by the Northmen, in the
tenth century. Cabot sailed along the coast in 1498, and Corte-Real in
1500. The interior remained practically unexplored till traversed by
officers of the Hudson's Bay Company about 1840. There are a few posts
of the Hudson's Bay Company on the coast. The southern portion is
inhabited by a primitive race of fishermen; in the north are several
missions of the Moravian Brethren, first established there in 1764.

Sandhills, etc.

Galinee upon the first of those explorations towards the west and south
for which he was to become famous. Meeting Jolliet at the western end of
Lake Ontario, Dollier de Casson and Galinee decided to make their way to
the upper lakes, while La Salle turned south and explored the Ohio. His
later explorations have been the subject of long controversy--the point
in dispute being whether he explored the Mississippi before or after
Marquette and Jolliet. In any event, he first descended the river to its
mouth, 1681-1682. Upon his return, sailed for France, and in 1684 set
out with four ships to establish a colony at the mouth of the
Mississippi. This unfortunate expedition culminated in the murder of La

=La Tour, Charles Amador de.= Son of Claude de la Tour. Came to Acadia
in 1610 with his father. Driven out of Port Royal by the English; built
a post near Cape Sable, on what is now known as Port Latour. In 1632,
when Acadia was restored to France, Razilly came out with Charnisay to
strengthen the colony. Razilly died in 1636, and a bitter conflict
followed between Charnisay and La Tour, both of whom claimed to
represent the king in Acadia. Charnisay had rebuilt Port Royal, and La
Tour occupied a fort at the mouth of the St. John. The outcome of the
quarrel was an order for the arrest of La Tour. Charnisay attacked La
Tour's fort, but was driven off. When he blockaded the harbour, La Tour
escaped to Boston, returned with English ships, and drove Charnisay to
the shelter of Port Royal. The latter's opportunity came, however,
later. He attacked the fort during La Tour's absence. La Tour's wife
made a gallant defence, and Charnisay succeeded in the end only by
resorting to treachery. He carried Madame La Tour to Port Royal, where
she died in 1645. Some years later, after the death of Charnisay, La
Tour brought this curious drama to a conclusion by marrying the widow of
his rival. He had already obtained restitution from the king, who made
him governor of Acadia; and some years later showed his powers of
persuasion by obtaining a generous grant of land from Cromwell, who had,
in 1654, taken possession of the colony. Died about 1666. =Bib.=:

for the defence of Acadia, captured by Kirke and carried to England.
There married one of the queen's French maids of honour, and was
persuaded to throw in his lot with the English. Promised to win over his
son Charles (_q.v._), but the latter scornfully refused to change his
allegiance. Afterwards built a fort at the mouth of the St. John, for
the French, to whom he had once more transferred his services. =Index=:

some years on the St. Maurice, and 1727-1728 on Lake Nipigon. There
conceived the idea of exploring the unknown country beyond Lake
Superior, to discover the Western Sea, a project to which he devoted the
remainder of his life. Left Montreal for the West in 1731; built forts
on Rainy Lake and Lake of the Woods, and in the succeeding years
penetrated to Lake Winnipeg, Red River, and the Assiniboine. In 1738
made a journey to the Mandan villages on the Missouri; and the following
year one of his sons penetrated to the Saskatchewan. In 1742, unable to
go himself, sent two of his sons far to the south-west. They hoped, as
he had always hoped, to reach at last the Western Sea, but were baffled
by hostile tribes and the barrier of the Rocky Mountains. In 1743
returned finally to Montreal, broken in health and heavily in debt. Six
years later died there. His sons begged to be allowed to continue his
western explorations, but hostile influences made this impossible. =WM=

Island (Prince Edward Island). The bulk of the migration to what was

boundary at Niagara and other points, and spreading throughout the

North West Company. Two Montreal merchants, John Gregory and Alexander
Norman McLeod, formed a partnership with Peter Pond and Peter Pangman,
western fur traders. Alexander Mackenzie joined the Company, and much of
its success was due to his energy and resourcefulness. His cousin,
Roderick Mackenzie, was also in its service. Keen rivalry resulted
between the two companies, finally culminating in a tragedy; in the
Athabaska department, Pond, who had deserted to the North West Company,
quarrelled with his rival, Ross, and in the scuffle Ross was fatally
shot. This serious news being brought down to the headquarters at Grand
Portage, a conference was held, resulting in the union of the Companies
in 1788. =Bib.=: Bryce, _Hudson's Bay Company_; Willson, _The Great

the voyage to Tadoussac with Pont-Grave in 1603, and had conceived no
very high opinion of the St. Lawrence as a field for colonization; it
was therefore decided to direct the operations of the Company to Acadia.
In 1604, with Champlain, sailed to Acadia, explored the Bay of Fundy,
and discovered Annapolis Basin and the St. John River; settlements were
established at Ste. Croix Island and Port Royal; in 1606 returned to

employees to join him. These men sailed to the Columbia by way of Cape
Horn, while another party went overland by the route followed by Lewis

and both the discovery and naming of the island have been attributed to
Cabot, and again to Cartier, but without sufficient proof. It bore that
name until the year 1798, when the present form was adopted, in honour
of the Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. During the French regime,
it was largely settled by Acadian families, but these were expelled
after the island came under British rule. In 1769 the island was granted
to a number of proprietors, and settlement was very slow. It formed part
of Nova Scotia until 1769, when it was made a separate province.
Responsible government was granted in 1851; and in 1873 the province
entered Confederation. =Index=: =E= Land question in, 143-144; 174-175.

and south sides, and 317 on the east and west; and is said to have been
designed by English military engineers. The walls are still standing,

still on the walls. _See_ Tyrrell's Introduction to Hearne's _Journey_
(Champlain Society ed., 1910). Hearne was governor of the fort in 1782,

on the river Raisin. For these services promoted brigadier-general. In
August, 1813, forced to retire from Fort Stephenson by Major Croghan. On

=Quebec City.= Founded by Champlain (_q.v._), in 1608. Seventy-three
years earlier, Jacques Cartier had sailed up the great river, and landed
near the same spot, wintering in a creek not far from the native town of
Stadacone. Champlain, in 1608, built a rude fort, the _Abitation de
Quebec_, and a warehouse. There he and his men spent the winter, but
before succour arrived in the spring, most Of them died of scurvy. Had a
man of less courage and resourcefulness been in Command, the infant
settlement of Quebec might have died a natural death. Champlain kept it
alive, and, though harassed by enemies, and neglected by the motherland,
the town grew steadily from the year of its birth. Quebec has passed
through five sieges, that of Kirke in 1629, that of Phipps, 1690, the
great siege of 1759, Levis's siege of 1760, and that of Montgomery and
Arnold, 1775-1776. =Index=: =Bk= The centre of society in Canada, 46;

=Quebec Library=. Founded at Quebec in 1779. The first public library in
what is now Canada. On Jan. 7 of that year, the following advertisement
appeared in the Quebec _Gazette_: "A subscription has been commenced for
establishing a publick library for the city and district of Quebec. It
has met with the approbation of His Excellency the Governor and of the
Bishop, and it is hoped that the institution, so particularly useful in
this country, will be generally encouraged." The idea of the library
originated with Governor Haldimand, and the first lot of books was
purchased in England, under his instructions, by Richard Cumberland, the
dramatist. An Act of incorporation obtained in 1840. Five years later,
the library was absorbed by the Quebec Library Association, founded
1843; and in 1866 the Association dissolved and sold its books to the
Quebec Literary and Historical Society (_q.v._). =Bib.=: A detailed
account of the Quebec Library, and the Quebec Library Association, will
be found in Wuertele's paper, in Quebec Lit. and Hist. Soc. _Trans._,
1887-1889.

=Quebec Literary and Historical Society=. Founded at Quebec in 1824,
largely through the influence and liberality of the Earl of Dalhousie,
then governor-general. Its purposes were "to discover and rescue from
the unsparing hand of time the records which yet remain of the earliest
history of Canada. To preserve while in our power, such documents as may
be found amid the dust of yet unexplored depositories, and which may
prove important to general history and to the particular history of this
province." In 1829, another similar organization was absorbed; and in
1831 the society was incorporated by Act of Parliament. The library had
been started the previous year, as well as the museum. Both have grown
steadily, despite serious losses from fires. =Bib.=: The publications
consist of _Transactions_ and _Historical Documents_. The first volume
of the former appeared in 1829, and the first part of the latter in
1838. The _Trans._, for 1887-1889 contain an account of the Society, its
publications and its library, by F. C. Wuertele, who also published in
1891 an Index to the series of publications.

=Quebec, Province of=. Area 351,873 square miles. Formed the principal
part of Canada, as ceded to Britain in 1763. Under the Quebec Act, 1774,
its boundaries extended west to the Ohio and Mississippi. In 1791, the
province was divided into Upper and Lower Canada, with the Ottawa River
as the boundary; in 1841 the two provinces were again united; and in
1867, Quebec became a province of the Dominion. The period of military
rule extended from the conquest to 1764, when civil government was
established. In 1775 the first Legislative Council met at Quebec.
Constitutional government was established in 1791; and responsible
government in 1841. =Index=: =Dr= Government of, embraced Canada, 7. =S=

=Quebec, Siege of, 1629.= The previous year, David Kirke had sailed up
the river, and sent a demand for the surrender of the fort, which
Champlain peremptorily refused. Kirke thereupon returned to the gulf to
meet the French fleet under De Roquemont, which he captured after a
battle which lasted fifteen hours, and carried his prizes and prisoners
back to England. The following year he returned, with a fleet of three
sails, and Champlain surrendered the fort, the more readily as the
little garrison was at the point of starvation. =Index=: _See_ Quebec

in May of this year, appeared before Quebec in October, with thirty-two
ships and a force of over two thousand men. He immediately summoned
Frontenac to surrender, and got a contemptuous refusal. Quebec was well
defended both in men and guns, and after a fruitless attack on the town
from the Beauport flats, and a subsequent bombardment in which he did
much less damage to the town than his ships suffered from Frontenac's
batteries, Phipps abandoned the siege. A little church then building in
the Lower Town was named _Notre Dame de la Victoire_, to commemorate the
victory. =Index=: _See_ Quebec city; Phipps. =Bib.=: Myrand, _Sir
William Phipps devant Quebec_; Parkman, _Frontenac_.

=Quebec, Siege of, 1759.= Following the capture of Louisbourg, Duquesne,
and Fort Frontenac, in the campaign of 1758, two expeditions were sent
the following year against Quebec, one by land under Amherst, the second
by water under Wolfe and Saunders. The French forces were commanded by
Montcalm, whose plans were hampered at every stage by the interference
of the governor, Vaudreuil. Wolfe commanded the attacking army, and
Saunders the fleet. The former had as brigadiers Townshend, Monckton,
and Murray. Montcalm had a force of over fourteen thousand men, partly
regulars and partly militia. Wolfe's army numbered less than nine
thousand men, but all were regulars. After bombarding the city from the
Levis shore, Wolfe, on July 31, made an unsuccessful attack at
Montmorency. Several ineffective efforts followed, and it was not until
early in September that Wolfe matured the plans which led to ultimate
success. Landing his men at a cove two miles above the city, on the
night of the twelfth, he had three thousand men upon the heights of
Abraham before daybreak. Montcalm hastily assembled his troops and led
them to the attack, but was completely defeated. During the battle, both
Wolfe and Montcalm were mortally wounded, and five of the French
brigadiers fell upon the field. The French were pursued to the gates of
the city, and Townshend, who had succeeded to the command, had
difficulty in re-forming his troops to repel an attack from the rear by
Bougainville. The latter, however, after a brief engagement, was forced
to retire; and the British remained masters of the field. Five days
later, the city capitulated to Saunders and Townshend. =Index=: _See_

=Quebec, Siege of, 1760.= After the battle of Ste. Foy, April 20, 1760,
Murray retreated within the walls of Quebec, and Levis laid siege to the
town. The defences were in a feeble state, but Murray strengthened them
by forming a wall of ice. In May a British fleet appeared, and Levis,
seeing that the cause was lost, hastily raised the siege. =Bib.=:

Thomas Liddell; succeeded by Dr. John Machar, Dr. John Cook, Dr. Leitch,
Dr. Snodgrass. In 1877 Dr. George Monro Grant became principal, and it
was due mainly to his enthusiasm and splendid organizing ability that
the university reached its present high state of efficiency. On the
death of Dr. Grant, in 1902, he was succeeded by Dr. D.M. Gordon.

British forces, consisting of regulars and militia, between 1500 and
2000 men, scattered along the Niagara River from Fort Erie to Fort
George. The opposing American forces numbered about 6000 men, similarly
distributed on the south bank of the river, under Stephen Van
Rensselaer. In the first skirmish, a few hundred men only were engaged
on either side, and the Americans finally gained the heights, brought up
reinforcements, and remained in possession for several hours. The
British losses included Brock and Macdonell. Sheaffe, on whom the
command had devolved, gathered together the scattered detachments of
British troops, 1000 strong, and marching them through the woods,
attacked the Americans from the inland side, and completely defeated
them. Many were driven over the banks into the river, and between 900
and 1000 surrendered, including Major-General Wadsworth and
Lieutenant-Colonel Winfield Scott. =Index=: =Bk= Account of battle,

of the North." About 1783, permanent settlements on the shores of the
bay were made by United Empire Loyalists and disbanded officers and men
of regiments serving in Canada. About the same time a number of Mohawks
settled in the township of Tyendenaga--named after Joseph Brant.

=Radisson, Pierre Esprit= (1620?-1710?). Born in Paris. Came to Canada
in 1651, and settled at Three Rivers. In 1652 captured by the Iroquois
and carried off to their country, where by great good fortune he escaped
the following year. In 1657 had the hardihood to make a voluntary visit
to the Onondagas; in 1658 explored the country south-west of Lake
Superior, discovered the Mississippi, and possibly went beyond. In 1661
made another journey to the west, accompanied as on the previous journey
by his brother-in-law, Medard Chouart; wintered among the Sioux, and the
following year explored the country north of Lake Superior, and
apparently penetrated to James Bay. In 1665 went to England and offered
his services to lead a trading expedition to Hudson Bay. The result of
this trading venture was the establishment of the Hudson's Bay Company.
In 1674, returned to the service of France, led an expedition to Hudson
Bay in 1682, and captured an English ship. In 1684 once more changed his
allegiance, and from that year to the time of his death remained in the
service of the Hudson's Bay Company. =Index=: =F= Proceedings of, in

on a mission to the Onondagas, and after finding that they had murdered
several Hurons, barely escaped with his life. Spent the next nine years
in labouring among the Hurons and other tribes, and in 1666 returned to

=Rebellion of 1837 in Lower Canada.= The culmination of a long
agitation, on the part of the French-Canadians, for a larger measure of
popular government. The older and more experienced of their leaders
refused to overstep the bounds of constitutional agitation; but
Papineau, Wolfred Nelson, and a few more hot-headed enthusiasts
determined to resort to armed rebellion. A series of violent speeches
and demonstrations, in the summer and autumn of 1837, in which Papineau
was the central figure, led to incipient riots in Montreal and
elsewhere, and the decision of the authorities to arrest Papineau blew
the smouldering embers into a fierce blaze. Nelson and Brown gathered
their followers together at St. Denis and St. Charles on the Richelieu,
and Colonel Gore and Colonel Wetherall were sent to disperse them.
Shortly after, Amury Girod raised the flag of revolt at St. Eustache,
and Sir John Colborne led a force against him. In every case the rebels
were dispersed. Papineau, Nelson, Brown, and the other leaders fled.
Papineau and Brown escaped over the border. The others were captured and
exiled to Bermuda. The next year Robert Nelson and Dr. Cote made a final
attempt at Napierville. Nelson managed to escape, but his misguided
followers were captured, twelve executed, and eighty-seven transported
to Australia. =Index=: =C= Responsibility of the government for, 2;

=Rebellion of 1837 in Upper Canada.= Almost the exact counterpart of the
revolt in the lower province. The leaders here were William Lyon
Mackenzie, Samuel Lount, Van Egmond, and Rolph. The plan was to march
upon Toronto, seize the city, and proclaim a republic. This was early in
December. On the night of the 5th, the insurgents marched on the city,
were met on the outskirts by a small body of Loyalists, and
ignominiously fled. The following day, having gained reinforcements,
they made a stand at Montgomery's tavern, and were completely routed by
the militia under MacNab. Mackenzie, Lount, and Rolph made their escape.
Lount was afterwards captured, tried, and hanged. Spasmodic efforts were
made in this and the following years, with the aid of American
sympathizers, to keep the Rebellion alive, but the movement had no
serious support in Canada, and in every case ended in disaster to the
rebels. =Index=: =Mc= Excuses for, 12; history of, 12-13; _Globe_

=Reciprocity.= Efforts were made from time to time by Canada, between
the years 1847 and 1854, to secure the free admission of goods between
Canada and the United States, but without success until the latter year,
when Lord Elgin negotiated a treaty. It came into force in 1855, and was

=Recollets.= A branch of the Franciscan order. First came to Canada in

V. The same year they built a convent at Quebec. Of the four members of
the order who came out in 1615, Le Caron was assigned to the Huron

=Red River.= Sometimes called Red River of the North, to distinguish it
from the Red River of Texas. The name is supposed to have been derived
from the colour of its waters, heavily impregnated with clay. It was
discovered by La Verendrye in 1733, and explored as far as the mouth of
the Assiniboine in that year. The river rises in North Dakota, and
enters Lake Winnipeg after a course of 545 miles. =Bib.=: Lovell,

=Red River Colony.= Also known as the Red River Settlement; Selkirk
Colony; Assiniboia, etc. Founded by the Earl of Selkirk (_q.v._), in
1811. The first party of colonists from Scotland reached York Factory
that year, under the leadership of Miles Macdonell, and arrived at the
Red River in 1812. A second party was sent out in 1812, reaching Red
River in 1813. In that same year a third party sailed from the Orkneys,
reaching their destination in 1814; and in 1815 a still larger party, in
charge of Robert Semple, sailed for Hudson Bay and reached Red River the
same year. The colonists suffered great privations for the first few
years, and were constantly harassed by the fur traders of the North West
Company. This petty warfare culminated in the Seven Oaks affair, in
which Governor Semple lost his life. After the union of the two fur
Companies, in 1821, the colony entered upon a period of comparative
peace and prosperity; and eventually became, in 1870, part of the
province of Manitoba. =Index=: =MS= The settlers sail from Stornoway, in

=Riel Rebellion=, 1869-1870. The territorial rights of the Hudson's Bay
Company having been transferred to Canada, a surveying party under
Colonel Dennis was sent out to Red River in 1869, and the same year
William Macdougall was appointed lieutenant-governor of Rupert's Land,
and instructed to proceed to Fort Garry and assume control. The French
half-breeds, alarmed at these proceedings, which they thought menaced
the rights to their lands, turned back the surveying parties, and
prevented Macdougall from crossing the boundary. They formed themselves
into a provisional government, of which Louis Riel was secretary, and
later was elected president. Riel published a "Bill of Rights," and
seized Fort Garry. An ill-judged attempt on the part of some of the
loyal settlers to compel the release of certain prisoners failed, and
the leader, Major Boulton, with Thomas Scott and others, was captured.
Boulton was released, but Riel caused Scott to be shot. Intense
indignation throughout Canada was aroused by this act, and the
government at once organized an expeditionary force, under Colonel
Wolseley. The force proceeded by way of the lakes, and the Dawson route
from Fort William to Lake Winnipeg. Wolseley reached Fort Garry on Aug.
24, 1870, to find that Riel, with his lieutenants Lepine and O'Donoghue,
had fled across the border. Riel was subsequently outlawed. =Index=: =C=

=Riel Rebellion=, 1885. The land question, which had given rise to the
Red River Rebellion of 1869-1870, was also responsible for the
Saskatchewan Rebellion of 1885. The government had neglected to issue
patents to the half-breeds on the Saskatchewan, and they became
convinced that their lands would be taken from them. Riel was sent for,
and an agitation worked up, at first along peaceful lines, but rapidly
moving towards violence. Riel finally threw discretion to the winds, and
deliberately inflamed not only the half-breeds, but also the western
tribes. A small detachment of Mounted Police and volunteers was attacked
at Duck Lake, and the government at Ottawa, hitherto indifferent, awoke
to the seriousness of the situation. A force was organized, and sent
west under General Middleton. Middleton divided his force into three
columns; one under General Strange, to operate against Big Bear in the
neighbourhood of Edmonton; the second under Colonel Otter, to relieve
Battleford, which was threatened by Poundmaker; and the third, of which
he himself took command, to relieve Prince Albert. Middleton met the
rebels at Fish Creek, and experienced a stubborn resistance, but drove
them back to Batoche. Here Riel and his men held the troops at bay for
three days, but were finally routed and scattered. Meanwhile Otter had
encountered Poundmaker at Cut Knife Creek, and after a desperate fight
had been forced to retreat. In the far west, Strange had a similar
experience with Big Bear, but finally drove him to the north. Big Bear
gave himself up; Poundmaker and Riel were captured, and the latter paid
the penalty of his crimes on the scaffold. =Index=: _See also_ Riel.

Lawrence, he reached Charlesbourg Royal, where Cartier had wintered, and

=Roman Catholic Church=. The first authentic landmark in the history of
the Roman Catholic Church in Canada is the arrival of several Jesuit
missionaries in Acadia in 1611. The Recollets first came to Quebec in
1615, and the Jesuits in 1625. In 1657 the Sulpicians arrived in
Montreal, and the following year Canada was made a Vicariate Apostolic.
The Jesuit missionaries explored the most distant parts of the
continent, in labouring among the Indians. Laval, the first
vicar-apostolic of New France, arrived in Quebec in 1659. In 1674 Quebec
was made a diocese, and Laval became the first bishop. After 1818 Canada
was divided into the dioceses of Nova Scotia, Upper Canada, New
Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton, and the North-West. In
1841 the chapter of Montreal was established, and in 1874 the diocese of
Quebec was subdivided into eight dioceses. The first cardinal of Canada
was Archbishop Taschereau. =Index=: =Sy= Its members excluded from

=Sable Island.= Off the coast of Nova Scotia. It was known from about
the beginning of the sixteenth century as Santa Cruz, and so appears on
Reinel's map of 1505, and on the Cabot _mappemonde_ of 1544. First
appears under its present name on a map of Joannes Freire, dated 1546.
Sir Humphrey Gilbert sailed for the island in 1583, and lost one of his
ships among its treacherous shoals. He mentions that above thirty years
before, the Portuguese had placed neat cattle and swine upon it to
breed, and that these had multiplied exceedingly. In 1598 La Roche left
fifty convicts upon the island, while he explored the coast, but his
little ship was blown out to sea, and he returned to France without
them. Five years later a ship was sent out to rescue the survivors,
eleven in all. The earliest description of the island is in De Laet's
_Novus Orbis_, 1633. It is at present twenty miles long, by about a mile
wide, and is wasting away rapidly. At the end of the eighteenth century,
it was forty miles long by two and a half wide; and when white men first
visited the island, it must have been of quite a considerable size.
Records exist of something over 187 wrecks, and this does not begin to
represent the actual tribute in ships to this "Graveyard of the
Atlantic." =Bib.=: Patterson, _Sable Island: Its History and Phenomena_

branches to the mountains, where they built Fort La Jonquiere. Anthony
Hendry reached the Saskatchewan from Hudson Bay in 1754, and descended
the river from the upper waters of the Red Deer, to the Pas. Many
trading posts were afterwards built at different points on the two
branches, both by the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company.

the Company of New France (or the Company of One Hundred Associates) was
chartered, only three seigniories had been granted, two to colonial
laymen and the third to the Jesuit Order. Thereafter a large number of
seigniorial grants were made--no less than sixty between 1632 and 1663,
when the Company surrendered its rights to the crown. Details as to the
later history of Seigniorial Tenure in Canada, how it was applied to the
land, and why it outlived the same system in Old France, will be found

trading expedition. At Nootka, while trading with the natives, he struck
one of the principal chiefs and turned him out of the ship. A few days
later a large party of Indians came on board, ostensibly to trade, but
carrying concealed weapons. At a preconcerted signal, they fell on the
officers and crew, killing all but five seamen, who escaped into the
hold. Four of these escaped the following day in a boat, but perished at
sea. The natives, believing the ship deserted, come on board in a crowd
to pillage her. Suddenly, while four or five hundred were huddled
together on the deck, the ship blew up with a frightful noise. The

taken this terrible revenge. An Indian of Gray's Harbour, who had been

important in that it corrected Peter Pond's crude map, which placed the
western end of the lake as far west as 131 deg., and so gave rise to the
impression that the lake was within easy reach of the Pacific Ocean.

=Vancouver Island.= The largest island on the west coast of North
America. Named after Captain George Vancouver, who explored this coast
in the years 1792-1794. The island was first named Quadra and Vancouver
in honour of the two naval officers who met at Nootka in 1792 to carry
out the provisions of the Nootka Convention. The first authentic landing
on the coast of the island is that of Captain James Cook in 1787.
Captain James Hanna landed at Nootka in 1785; and Captain John Meares in
1788. From this time trading and exploring expeditions spent more or
less time at Nootka. In 1843 the Hudson's Bay Company made their first
establishment on the island, Fort Victoria, at first known as Camosun.
The island remained under the control of the Company until 1849, when it
became a crown colony. Representative government was introduced, 1856;
and in 1866 the island and mainland were united under one government.

=X Y Company.= Founded at Montreal in 1795 by several partners of the
North West Company, who had become dissatisfied with the administration
of the old company, and particularly resented the autocratic ways of its
chief, Simon McTavish, popularly known among the fur traders, because of
his domineering manner, as "Le Premier," and "Le Marquis." The backbone
of the new concern was the powerful Montreal firm of Forsyth, Richardson
& Co. Alexander Mackenzie was almost persuaded to join the new company

Company had built a post at Grand Portage in 1797, and followed their

charge of a governor, with a considerable staff. It was the
