THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
In 1846, the artist Paul Kane travelled West with the incoming York Factory Express men, and in his later book he described his descent of the Big Hill that led down from Athabasca Pass to Boat Encampment. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #BCHistory #WAHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-8/ -

In 1846, as he passed up the Fraser River, Anderson's men paddled past an enormous inland lake where many First Nations people lived in houses on stilts. The HBC men called this "Smess" and today it is named Sumas Prairie. There is no lake here anymore. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fur-traders-smess/ -
