The Regina Front?[edit]

Can anyone tell me what "the Regina front" in this article refers to? I consider myself a fairly well read scholar of the Rebellion and have never encountered such a description. In my understanding Dumont rode out from Batoche to capture the provisions of Duck Lake, and there were no other "fronts" as battle had yet to take place. - Wyldkat

"Front" is not the best word, and the phrase should read "to," not "from." What was meant: The Métis were initially gathered near the North Saskatchewan to guard against a sortie from Fort Carlton; before Duck Lake they moved south against the Mountie advance from Regina and Fort Qu'appelle. Please correct accordingly. Other articles on this topic are probably in need of similar attention; I encourage you to go ahead and fix errors you find. Albrecht 04:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


The strength figures appear to be significantly off. If one includes the volunteers, Crozier's force had only ninety-nine men. I have never found a record of the size of the Métis force.

There was no such thing as the "Regina front" and the Metis were not moving to meet a threat from the Mounties (though a Mountie force under Commissioner Irvine was moving toward Batoche). The Metis had occupied the town of Duck Lake on March 25, a fact Crozier did not know. The Metis met Crozier's force on the Carlton Trail just west of the town and just inside the boundary of the One Arrow reserve. The battle details in this article are not correct.

If the details are incorrect please feel free to correct them, if possible citing sources. Thats the point of Wikipedia after all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.47.240.109 (talk) 18:08, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First Nation's Involvement[edit]

The paragraph on First Nation's Involvement appears to be a direct copy of content from virtualmuseum.ca., so I removed it entirely.McMuff (talk) 00:37, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
