Blackfeet Indians' camp, on Bow River, 1881. Engraving from a sketch '...by his Excellency the Marquis of Lorne, Governor-General of Canada...a view of the "Blackfeet Crossing," on the Bow River, [showing], on the farther bank of that river, a large encampment of the Blackfeet Indians. On the level ground of the near side is the encampment of his Excellency's party, where a so-called Council of the tribe was held for conference with the Governor-General; about two thousand of the Indians were present...Lord Lorne's Sketch has an indication, towards the left hand, of the site of an old earthwork, with a circular fosse, and with jutting bastions, at intervals, to the side of the ditch. This may be viewed, we suppose, as the relic of some fortification erected in pre-historic warfare'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
