An old note inside the embroidered pouch reads: work done by the Half-breed Indian women on the St. Peter's Reserve Nr. Winnipeg, Manitoba. 1887.

Edith M.H. Aggs wrote an account of her journey with Henry G. Aggs, and these artefacts are sold with two xeroxed pages of the journal which remains with her descendants. She mentions visits to San Francisco, Yosemite, Yellowstone Park, Kentucky, Seattle, Victoria and Sitka, amongst other places.
