THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1824, James McMillan and his small group of explorers made a winter journey from Fort George #Astoria to the Fraser River by a stream that led them north from Puget Sound. They spent some days exploring the river and speaking to the First Nations people who lived near where #FortLangley would later be constructed. #TheHBCBrigades #WestOfTheMountains #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/exploring-frasers-river/
