[COLLECTION OF PAMPHLET PUBLICATIONS OF THE MANITOBA HISTORICAL AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY, RELATING TO THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT, 1882 - 1930]

[Manitoba Historical and Scientific Society]

Verlag: Winnipeg, 1930

Thirty-three pamphlets. Original printed wrappers. A few rear wrappers lacking, some chipping to a few wrappers. Ownership signatures on some front wrappers. Overall, very good. In a tan cloth chemise and slipcase, leather label. An excellent collection of Canadian pamphlets relating to the Red River settlement in present-day Manitoba, all published by the Manitoba Historical and Scientific Society. Some issues likely belonged to a colleague, or perhaps a relative of Charles Napier Bell, as the ownership signature of Robert Bell appears on two pamphlets, and Charles Napier Bell has inscribed two of his own publications. Bell was a passionate and multi-talented figure, and along with George Bryce was a founding member of the Society, serving as its president from 1889-1891 and again from 1913-1929.
