"This letter book was put together by Robertson with the express object of proving that he had once played an active and formative part in the history of the [Hudson's Bay] Company."--Introduction.

Description: Discusses Robertson's time spent at Red River between 1815 and 1816, and how he became embroiled in a dispute between the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company there, capturing the NWC's Fort Gibraltar and re-establishing Fort Douglas, which had been destroyed by the NWC.
