CHAPTER XXIX.
MANITOBA IN THE MAKING.
Close in the wake of Wolseley's Expedition, there arrived on the 2nd of September, Adams G.Archibald, the newly-appointed Governor of the new Province of Manitoba.

His arrival was greeted with joy, for he was a man of high character, and of much experience in his native Province of Nova Scotia.

The two volunteer regiments, the Quebec and Ontario battalions, were quartered for the winter, the former in Lower Fort Garry, the latter in Fort Garry.

The new Governor took up his abode in Fort Garry, in the residence with which our story is so familiar.

The organization of his government began at once.
