The whole expedition was in command of that gallant soldier Colonel Garnet S.Wolseley (who afterwards won honor and fame in foreign campaigns, and became a Field Marshal of the British Army).

The troops left Toronto in May on their long trip to Fort Carry, going by steamboat to Prince Arthur's Landing (now Port Arthur), from which point they took the old "Dawson route" to their destination.
