14 - Colin Robertson in Montreal

Colin Robertson was in Montreal where he was recruiting men for the Red River Colony. He wrote in his journals about how the North West Company attempted to undermine his progress. The details are important to and explain the struggle of the Colony but I was interested in learning about the character of this man and the evidence his journal notes might give me and how he responded to difficulties and what his perceptions of people were. I was able to glean some idea of the man.
