Josiah Jones Bell fonds

The material in the Josiah Jones Bell fonds pertaining to the Canadian Wartime Experience includes textual records and photographs relating to Bell's activities in the Wolseley Expedition's journey to Red River, its return to Thunder Bay, and its work in exploring and laying telegraph lines in the west from 1875 to 1876. The articles and lantern slides apparently relate to a presentation Bell gave in later years on the history of these events.
