| Summary | "Two Months in the Camp of Big Bear" by Theresa Gowanlock and Theresa Delaney is a gripping historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative chronicles the harrowing experiences of the authors during their captivity in the camp of Big Bear amid the tumultuous Northwest Rebellion. The story is centered on Theresa Gowanlock and her tumultuous journey, revealing personal struggles, societal observations, and the clash of cultures during a dark period in Canadian history. The opening of this account begins with an introduction by Theresa Gowanlock, who expresses her intent to provide a truthful recounting of her experiences after a tragic incident that claimed the lives of her husband and other settlers. As she reflects on her captivity, Gowanlock begins to detail her journey alongside her husband from Ontario to Frog Lake, where they faced starvation and threats from Indigenous peoples. The authors share personal anecdotes of their encounters with the local inhabitants, painting a vivid picture of the harsh realities faced during their travel. The narrative foreshadows deep sorrow and tragedy as they encounter the escalating tensions leading to the massacre and their eventual captivity, setting the stage for the emotional and harrowing details that follow in the subsequent chapters.
