Collections and researches made by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society. reprint

This volume is a collection of several different kinds of important historical documents published by the Michigan Pioneer and Historical Society. It contains a further installment of materials selected from the Canadian Archives at Ottawa by the Society's representative, B.W. Shoemaker, to illuminate British influence, perspectives, and activities in the Great Lakes region at the end of the War of 1812 and immediately thereafter (1815-1819), continuing the selection of documents begun in Volume 15. The materials published here consist chiefly of reports and correspondence among British officers stationed at frontier posts in Canada and Michigan and with their commanding officers. These concern the restitution of posts, military stores, supplies and ordnance, claims, a court martial and courts of inquiry, allegations of seditious behavior, medical care, and Native American affairs and activities (including Native American Councils at Amherstburg and Drummond Island). Other topics are treaties and ratifications, including the ratification of a treaty between the United States and the Wyandot, Seneca, Delaware, Shawanese, and Potawatomi [Pottawattomies] (reported in the Detroit Gazette, February 19, 1819), and British and American diplomatic correspondence. An appendix with notes and an index appear at the end of the volume.
