Talbot Papers: Articles: Archibald McKellar

Custodial History: These papers were collected as part of a comprehensive study into the life and career of Colonel Thomas Talbot, the early nineteenth-century settlement agent whose authority extended over much of what is now southwestern Ontario. The research was conducted by Guy St-Denis in various archival repositories with the intention of publishing a new biography of Talbot. After the project was discontinued, the photocopied documents were preserved in hopes of being useful to future scholars of Talbot and his settlement. The files were compiled ca. 1985-2003.

Scope and Content: Photocopy of an article written by The Honourable Archibald McKellar: "Recollections of Col. Talbot and His Times- Sacrifice of the Public Domain", published in the Wentworth Historical Society Journal and Transactions.
