Canadian North-West, Its Early Development and Legislative Records; Minutes of the councils of the Red River Colony and the Northern Department of
Rupert’s Land: ed. by E.H. Olivier, Vol. 1–2, Publication of the Canadian Archives, No. 9, Ottawa, GovPrBureau, 1914–15. (The compilation provides “a
complete picture of Pioneer Legislation and a survey of Constitutional Development in the Prairie Provinces. The documents relating to the former have
been hitherto unpublished. The material for the latter has been gleaned chiefly, though not entirely, from Imperial Blue Books, Dominion Sessional
Papers, Journals of the Council and Legislative Assembly of the North West Territories, Parliamentary Returns, and Departmental Files…. Only so much has
been extracted from the Sessional Papers as would make the story of development continuous. The starting point is the Royal Charter of the Hudson’s Bay
Company. The conclusion is to be found in the Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta Acts. {The compilation includes the minutes} of “no less than 147
meetings of the Council of Assiniboia…. These are followed by those of the Northern Department of Rupert’s land from 1830–1843.”—Pref.. Also, an
appendix contains the following large maps: Partie de la Nouvelle France, par Hubert Jaillot, 1685; District of Assiniboia, 1811; British North America, J.
Arrowsmith, 1858; North West Territory, including Province of Manitoba, 1875; Manitoba and North West Territory, 1905; and Manitoba, Saskatchewan, &
Alberta, 1912.)
