THE. YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
In 1823, John Work and Peter Skene Ogden travelled West to the Columbia district in the years before the York Factory Express existed. At the height of the mountain range, they begin their journey on foot down the Big Hill to Boat Encampment, on the Columbia River. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-twenty-two/ -
THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1846, Anderson and his small group of men followed the Fraser River down to the stream that flowed out of Seton Lake, before walking to the west along the north sores of both Seton and Anderson Lakes. They were on their way to #FortLangley, and they did arrive at the place, but the trail was not a good route. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-seton-lakes/ -
THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1846, Anderson set off to explore the country between #Kamloops and #FortLangley, searching for a new route for the brigades. It was important that he understood what the requirements for a brigade trail were. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/hbc-brigades/ -
THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
In 1846, the artist Paul Kane leaves #Jasper House on his way across the Rocky Mountains very late in the season -- so late, in fact, that an early snowstorm almost prevented them from reaching the Boat Encampment. #YorkFactoryExpress #Journeys #ABHistory #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-7/ -

The old location of Fort Alexandria was in a different location than I have previously understood it to be, and so that changed the story of the Fort Alexandria flood that was the result of a landslide along the Fraser River. But there were two landslides.... #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-alexandria-flood/ -

The first leg of the outgoing brigade was from #FortStJames to Fort George #PrinceGeorge. Next came the descent of the Fraser River as the men and boats made their way south to Fort Alexandria. #TheHBCBrigades #Journeys #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-two/ -
