George Barnston travelled into the Columbia district with the first York Factory Express which reached Fort #Vancouver in November 1826.

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1828, Governor Simpson visited the west side of the Rocky Mountains, travelling south from the Peace River through #FortStJames and #Kamloops, and finally travelling through the Fraser Canyon to #FortLangley. At the end of the journey he decided against using this route as a brigade trail. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-twenty-eight/

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/

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1824, James McMillan's expedition north to the Fraser River left Fort George #Astoria #WA shortly after the arrival of the incoming boats that carried him into the territory. McMillan was exploring the Fraser for the location of the new #FortLangley. #HBCHistory #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fraser-river/

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
There were a number of old brigade trails in the Columbia District, and they generally ran south from #FortStJames to the shores of the Pacific Ocean at Fort #Vancouver #WA -- and later to #FortLangley, on the lower Fraser River. #TheHBCBrigades #Journeys #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-trails/

THE NICOLA VALLEY WAS THE CENTRE OF THE HBC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, in sense, as every road they used between #Kamloops and #FortLangley, or any road to the Forks of the Thompson River #Lytton, or to the Okanagan, passed through the extensive grasslands of the Nicola Valley. #AmWriting #History #TheHBCBrigades https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/nicola-valley/

FOR THE HBC MEN, COLLINS GULCH allowed them an easy way up the south side of the Tulameen Plateau (you probably know this as the #Coquihalla). The path over the hill and down the western slopes of the plateau was not so easy to travel, and the HBC men had more troubles there than anywhere on their long trail to #FortLangley #BC https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/collins-gulch/

AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE MASSACRE OF THE MISSIONARIES AT WAIILATPU, the #HBC men change their route and took in their trade goods over the mountains between #FortLangley and #Kamloops. They had a horrific and very difficult journey up the Fraser River to Kequeloose, where they took to the hills.... #AmWriting #History https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/1848-brigade/

IN 1846, CLERK ALEXANDER CAULFIELD ANDERSON EXPLORED for a new brigade trail between #Kamloops and #FortLangley. On his outgoing journey, he walked down the shores of Seton and Anderson Lake, to the #Lillooet River. https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-seton-lakes/

@sharmaineonthestreet Saba in #FortLangley is scrumptious! #Support4Local

Our taste buds are rather excited by the menu at the Ancestor Cafe at #ParksCanada’s #FortLangley. Has anyone tried it? Is the food as good as it sounds?

It was closed when we visited. Tempted to return to sample what sounds like #delicious #Indigenous dishes.

HBC BRIGADES, 1846 EXPEDITION:
[Return Journey] "This, from all I could ascertain both at the latter place #Kamloops and #FortLangley is the most probable, if not only, route by which it is likely we may discover a communication for horses, if such exists. I am much indebted to Mr. James Murray Yale for the ready assistance he had afforded me in all respects, to promote the object of my journey.
"Friday. Set out at 3 1/3 amm. Reached #Lillooet Fork in 4 hours. #HistoricJourney #AmWritingHistory

My next book is about the HBC Brigades that ran from #FortStJames to Fort #Vancouver #WA, and in later years over the Coquihalla (Tulameen Plateau) to #FortLangley. Here is the story of the leg of their journey from Fort Alexandria, on the Fraser River, to "Drowned Horse Lake," in the early years.
