- Alexander_Begg_(1839–1897) abstract "Alexander Begg (19 July 1839 – 6 September 1897) was Canadian journalist and businessman. His books covered historical events in Canada.He was born in Quebec and ended up heading west because of business he was conducting for an import-export firm's Hamilton, Ontario office. He arrived at the Red River Colony (Manitoba) in 1867 as an agent for various firms. The following year he formed a successful partnership as general merchants and outfitters with Andrew Bannatyne. This partnership lasted until late in 1871.During this period and beyond, Begg was prominent in the community fighting for representative government for the people. At first he was supportive of both the Métis and Hudson's Bay Company, and criticized the expansionist ideas of many of his fellow Canadians. As the Red River Rebellion wore on, however, he began to advocate a negotiated annexation of the region by Canada, provided local rights were preserved. He was in business in Winnipeg until 1877 and published and edited a variety of materials. In 1877, he became Queen's Printer of Manitoba. He also was Sergeant-at-Arms to the Legislature and then Deputy Treasurer and Auditor at different times.In his book about the Red River Troubles in 1869 he laid out the almost state-free social-political system before the rebellion started:"The Courts of Justice savored more of arbitration than of a mere attention to the technicalities of law; and it generally happened that there were more cases decided outside the court-room than inside it. People at that period had learned to live on terms of friendship and kindliness towards each other; and, consequently, it was not a difficult matter to heal a breach between any two individuals. The Government at that time depended greatly on the quiet, peaceful, and contented character of the people for a strict observance of law and order, and did not deem it necessary to enforce severe measures."Begg left Winnipeg in 1884 for London, England and in 1888 moved to Seattle to re-enter journalism. In 1892 he moved to Victoria, British Columbia as editor of the Victoria Daily News. He worked at his journalism in B.C. until his death. Begg should not be confused with another journalist of the same name active in Victoria at the time.His written legacy includes much material from Manitoba and the North-West covering the period he had lived in Winnipeg and later years.".
