	French River (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The French River (or Rivière des Français) is a river in central Ontario, Canada.
		The river follows the boundary between the Parry Sound District and the Sudbury District.
		Because of the rugged nature of the Canadian Shield country surrounding this river, large parts of this river remain relatively untouched and it is now a popular location for recreational canoeing, kayaking, fishing and boating.

	Red River Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red River Rebellion of 1869 – 1870 is the term most often used to describe the actions of a provisional government established by Métis leader Louis Riel in 1869 at the Red River Settlement in what is now the Canadian province of Manitoba.
		After the agreement was settled, Canada sent a military expedition, now known as the Wolseley Expedition (or Red River Expedition), consisting of Canadian Militia and British regular soldiers led by Colonel Garnet Wolseley to Manitoba to enforce federal authority.
		As a means of exercising Canadian authority in the settlement and dissuading the Minnesota expansionists, a Canadian military expedition under Colonel Garnet Wolseley was dispatched to the Red River.

	William Francis Butler - A Life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Wolseley was a passionate reformer and he and his circle were to have a great influence on the British Army in the 19th.
		Wolseley dispatched a steam pinnace downstream to intercept him and tell him to get back to his post: his duty was the expeditious processing of the boats between the second and third cataracts.
		Given Wolseley’s distaste for the country of his birth, it is ironic that, among the English upper classes who shaped the higher echelons of the army, ‘Paddy’ was in colloquial use as a generic term to describe officers from Ireland, irrespective of their backgrounds.

		Again Wolseley imparted pragmatic instruction, his aim being “to afford officers and men instruction in the practical work which real war presents, and to avoid repeating drill-book manuvres which never could be required in Canada.” Thorold was a useful experience.
		Wolseley was awarded many honours, obtaining confirmation of his rank as major-general, receiving the thanks of parliament, and being nominated gcmg and kcb.
		Wolseley proposed “to send all the dismounted portion of the force up the Nile to Khartum in boats, as we sent the little expeditionary force from Lake Superior to Fort Garry on the Red River in 1870.” At his behest 390 Canadian voyageurs, among them Jean-Baptiste Canadien, were raised to join the expedition.

		Though Wolseley managed to occupy the Ashanti capital for only one day, the Ashanti were shocked to realize the inferiority of their military and communications systems.
		On March 14, 1874, the two sides signed the Treaty of Fomena, which required the Ashanti to pay an indemnity of 50,000 ounces of gold, to renounce claims to Elmina and to all payments from the British for the use of forts, and to terminate their alliances with several other states, including Denkyera and Akyem.

		He'd put down the Red River rebellion in Canada in 1870, crossing the 600 miles of wilderness waterways from Lake Superior to Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) without losing a man. To a British government eager to avoid a bloody war, this was a very good omen indeed.
		The River Column was ordered to return immediately to Korti, and so it did, running back down the river which it had surmounted at such great cost.
		In the same year that brought victory to Kitchener at Omdurman, when the River Column and the campaign of the cataracts were only fading memories, William Francis Butler was appointed Commander-in-Chief of British forces in South Africa, where war between the British and the Boers was all but inevitable.
