Footnotes

Bainbrigge arrived in Canada on board the Arab transport on June 25, 1836, in time to take part in the military operations along the Richelieu River and at St. Eustache during the Rebellions of 1837-8.

Bainbrigge travelled widely in Upper and Lower Canada and the Maritimes, reporting on fortifications and other defensive measures. He was assigned on special service duty concerning the Maine-New Brunswick boundary dispute and was acting adjutant from 1841 until his return to England on August 4, 1842.

For variation of this work, see the watercolours by Bainbrigge in the Coverdale Collection, W. Martha E. Cooke, op. cit., p.11, no.22 and by Millicent Mary Chaplin in Library and Archives Canada, Item ID number 2833278 ('Encampment of Micmac Indians at Point Levi').
