            Typescript of a research report by Allen Ronaghan regarding the location of the site of Fort Ostell, near the town of Ponoka, Alberta [Section 5, Township 43, Range 25, W4]. The author describes a firsthand account by a Mr. Johnny Crier of the Samson Reserve near Maskwacis, who reported seeing the ruins of Fort Ostell "when he was about fifteen", and who took the author to see the location. The author notes that while they did not find anything, "it is about sixty-five years since Mr. Crier saw the ruins" and he nonetheless believes that "Mr. Crier was right about the location of the fort", based on other historical records.

            Additionally includes a hand-drawn map of Section 5, showing where the author has determined that Fort Ostell was located in relation to various landmarks and to the town of Ponoka.
