Scope and contentA sketch of a steamboat, possibly the Northcote, coming under Metis fire during the Northwest Resistance. The title is apparently erroneous as there was only one relief expedition to Battleford and it neither came under fire or involved river boats. Probably from an Eastern newspaper with misinformation on Resistance events.
