THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
In 1823, HBC clerks John Work and Peter Skene Ogden ended their long canoe journey across the continent at #Spokane House, near the banks of the Columbia River. Though it was three years before the York Factory Express was created, they had followed the same routes for much of their crossing. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-twenty-six/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Cumberland House was a major post on the #Saskatchewan River, a place that the HBC men from #Edmonton House passed going west, and the Athabasca men from the north left the Saskatchewan River for the Sturgeon-Weir and the Churchill. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Manitoba https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/cumberland-house/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The Grand Rapids was a massive barrier to transportation on the #Saskatchewan River near Lake #Winnipeg. Nevertheless, in spite of what various people wrote about these rapids, it was for the most part fairly safe to travel through them. Here is what I learned about the Grand Rapids from various writers of history. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Manitoba https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/grand-rapids/

THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
Two long and narrow lakes lay along the length of the Columbia River: the upper Arrow Lake, and the lower. The waters of the lakes have both been raised by modern-day dams, but in the years before the dams existed the two lakes were connected by a narrow river that ran through both of them. #YorkFactoryExpress #Journeys #BritishColumbia https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/arrow-lakes/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Once the HBC men had made their way across the dangerous Lake #Winnipeg to the safety of the mouth of the #Saskatchewan River, they then had to make their way upriver through one of the largest rapids found in the entire territory--the Grand Rapids. #Manitoba #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rapid-river-cedar-lake/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Before one could make their way to the west of Norway House, they must cross the dangerous waters of the northern part of shallow Lake #Winnipeg, which was exposed to the storms and high winds that blew in from the west. It could, at times, be a very dangerous crossing. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Manitoba https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/crossing-lake-winnipeg/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1823, HBC clerks John Work and Peter Skene Ogden made their way west from Norway House, crossing Lake Winnipeg and heading towards the mouth of the #Saskatchewan River. In 1843, Augustus Peers would follow the same track west. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Manitoba https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-three/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Springtime at Norway House was a beautiful time, when the ice melted and the streams opened and flowed through the snow to the water of the Lake. HBC clerk Augustus Peers enjoyed his first spring in the snow country of the territory in the company of Robert Michel Ballantye, who later wrote a book about his time in the HBC. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #ManitobaHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/norway-house-spring/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The Echimamish River was a short and shallow river which flowed from a lake on the height of land to the Hayes River. Part of the same river system also flowed to the Nelson River and Playgreen, and so the two rivers led the men from the Hayes to Norway House by crossing over a low height of land. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/landmarks-on-the-echimamish-river/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Winter travel is easy over hard snow and ice; but when the weather begins to change and becomes warmer, then the ice melts and travel becomes not only more difficult, but more dangerous as well. And so Augustus Peers had a difficult journey from Oxford House to Norway House, at the top of the hill. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/spring-thaw/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The HBC men did not write descriptions of the upper Hayes River, and until the English explorers such as Captain John Franklin (later Sir) came into the territory and wrote their descriptions of the river, we later historians did not know what the places on the river looked like. #Journeys #HBCHistory #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/landmarks-hayes-river-2/

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1828, the Fort Colvile brigades left Fort #Vancouver #WA and travelled up the Columbia River toward their home post, accompanying the New Caledonia Brigades east to the mouth of the Okanagan River. #TheHBCBrigades #WestOfTheMountains #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-colvile-brigades/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1843, clerk Augustus Richard Peers arrives at Oxford House, travelling up the Hayes River by dogsled. He describes this old post and tells of the warm welcome he received. Fortunately for him, the gentleman in charge loaned him his own dog sled so he could reach Norway House. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/oxford-house/

THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
The height of land that the HBC men used to cross the Rocky Mountains was Athabasca Pass, at the western end of the Whirlpool River as it flowed toward #Jasper's House. In 1826, Aemilius Simpson described the pass and the lakes that lay in the middle of it. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/athabasca-pass/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Setting up an overnight encampment in the wintertime was an interesting project, but the HBC men who travelled when it was cold and snowing were very familiar with the process. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/winter-encampment/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In wintertime, there were only two reliable methods of transportation for covering long distances: Snowshoeing took strength and energy, but travelling by dog sled did not (at least for the gentleman it did not). Augustus Peers travelled to Norway House by dogsled. #HBCHistory #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/dogsled-1/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1842, clerk Augustus Peers arrived at the old headquarters of the Hudson Bay Company, York Factory, which stood on the shores of Hudson Bay itself -- He tells the story of York Factory in a manuscript he hoped to have published in London. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Manitoba #Journeys #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/york-factory/

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
From Fort George #PrinceGeorge, the men of the incoming HBC Brigades head up the Nechako River toward home at #FortStJames, after a four month long journey to their Pacific coast headquarters of Fort #Vancouver #WA. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #WestOftheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-twenty-one/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1842, clerk Augustus Richard Peers sailed from London to York Factory, on Hudson Bay. On his way he saw icebergs, polar bears, and Inuit hunters, and described them. He also wrote about his arrival at York Factory, where he would spend his first winter. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Manitoba #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/london-to-york-factory/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The first leg of the sailing journey that brought Augustus Peers from London to Hudson Bay was a stop in the Orkney Islands, where the ship provisioned while Peers and his friend, Dr. Nevins, had time to explore. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #AtlanticOcean #OrkneyIslands https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/orkney-island/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1842, Augustus Richard Peers joined the HBC and sailed from London for Hudson Bay, where he would begin his job. Ten or so years later, he wrote a Narrative for publication in England that would tell his story and the stories of others who worked in the North. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/augustus-peers-journal/

THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
In 1823, John Work and Peter Skene Ogden made their way down the Big Hill to the Big Bend of the Columbia River west of the Rockies, where they met the men who would bring them in boats down to #Spokane House. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-twenty-two/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
The Indigenous story of Rat's Lodge, on Artillery Lake, was a story that had a grain of truth in it. Many First Nations men died in the storms that blew past the Rat's Lodge, and in 1855, James Anderson and his men also suffered the same fierce storms that caused the Indigenous people's superstitions about the place. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rats-lodge/

THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
The HBC men always called Yellowhead Pass the Leather Pass, because they generally received their supply of leather from #Edmonton House through this pass. However, the name only appeared in private writings and never in official correspondence, and so many people do not believe that story. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/leather-pass/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, Chief Trader James Anderson and his small party of men paddle their way up the "River of Rapids" -- that is: the Great Fish River -- and encamped in Beechey's Lake in a rain shower. Musk Ox Lake was before them, and it was near the headwaters of the Great Fish River. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthwestTerritories https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/river-of-rapids/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In summer 1855, James Anderson continues his journey south, up the 85 rapids of the Great Fish River toward Great Slave Lake, on his way home from the shores of the Arctic Sea. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/andersons-journey-continues/

THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY
In 1846, the artist Paul Kane leaves #Jasper's House on his way to cross the Rocky Mountains into the Columbia district, via Athabasca Pass. It is late in the year, and snow and cold is now their enemy. Will they make it? #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-7/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
IN 1855, James Anderson and his group of determined paddlers reach Lake Garry and continue their lourney south and west toward Beechey Lake, on the Great Fish River. They are on their way home from their summertime visit to the Arctic Sea, and hope to get home before the snow flies. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-at-beechy-lake/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, Chief Trader James Anderson makes his way home from the Arctic Sea, heading south for the safety of Great Slave Lake before the Northern winter blows in. His men are paddling hard and making good time, and they reach Lake Garry in safety, though they have a long way yet to go. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-at-lake-garry/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
It was time for the HBC men under Chief Trader James Anderson to begin their journey home from the Arctic Sea before winter set in, but even while they were heading south, they continued their search for signs of Sir John Franklin's men. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #Arctic https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/journey-home/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Spooky! The story of a ship, supposedly a poem about the Erebus--that is, the ship that Sir John Franklins men were on. It cannot have been true, of course, but it is very much a part of the story of the search for Franklin's men. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #Arctic https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/story-of-a-ship/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
From Chantrey Inlet's Montreal Island, Chief Trader James Anderson and his party of men move onto the Adelaide Peninsula, on the shores of the Arctic Sea, and search it, unsuccessfully, for signs of Sir John Franklin's lost men. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Arctic #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/adelaide-peninsula/
