Excerpt from Red River Settlement: Papers in the Canadian Archives Relating to the Pioneers Both Macdonell's party and Keveny's, it owill. Be seen, retired to Pembina for the winter of 1812. The party. Which crossed to Hudson's Bay in 1813 suffered severely through an epidemic of ship fever, and reached Hudson's Bay too late to proceed inland until the followmg summer. The list is given in No. 10. The winter was passed at Fort Churchill, so that when the first party of the 'churchill Settlers, ' as they were called, reached Red River, open hostilities had already broken out with the North West Company. Only fourteen new settlers came out by the Hudson's Bay ships in 1814. One of the Hudson's Bay servantsfjoined the number, and the party reached the Settle ment late in the autumn of that year. Although the number is specified in the Selkirk Papers and Macdonell adds some gen eral remarks upon the character of the. Men, there seems to be no official list of this last contingent of settlers to reach Red River before the dispersion of the settlement by the North West Com pany in the spring of 1815. It will be seen, therefore, that the lists numbered 5 and 7 give the names of the pioneers who reached Red River in 1812. The extract numbered 10, supplies the names of other settlers, as far as we know tnem at pre sent, who reached the Forks before 'the expulsion.'
