Compiling the Lisgar Letters. Sir John Young, Lord Lisgar, alone among post-Confederation governors general, has no manuscript collection, in either published or archival form. His collected papers were apparently destroyed after his death. This project is a compilation of Lisgar’s papers for publication with an introductory essay. These letters have been gleaned from the manuscript collections of various British and Canadian public figures with whom Lisgar corresponded. Lisgar’s term of office (1869-72) witnessed events such as the Red River Rebelion and the 1871 Treaty of Washington negotiations, and this collection will offer valuable new insights into this era.
