A handwritten copy of Campbell's journal used as the basis for his book "From the Highlands to Fort Garry". The journal covers his arrival at York Factory (Manitoba), work at the Red River Settlement (Manitoba), journey to the United States to buy sheep, and his assignment to the Mackenzie River district. Locations and events include Fort de Liard (Northwest Territories), Fort Halkett (British Columbia), Lake Frances (Yukon), Pelly Banks (Yukon), and the establishment of Fort Selkirk (Yukon). Campbell records encounters with Indigenous groups including Saulteaux (Ojibwe), Cree, Métis, Dakota, Meskwaki (Fox), Kaska Dena, Northern Tutchone, and Chilkat Tlingit (Jilkáat Kwáan). His notes discuss seasonal harvesting locations, territory boundaries, cultural practices, beliefs, trade conflicts between groups, Russians and/or the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), and historical figures Chief Wanata and Chief Shakes (likely Shakes IV).
