    Pierre Pambrun Jr. worked at Robert Campbell's Frances Lake post, and also at Pelly Banks. In 1850 or so, the Pelly Banks Post was consumed by a fire which destroyed all their provisions and warm clothes and also left them without ammunition in the middle of winter. It was a disaster in the making.... #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Yukon #NorthernBC nancymargueriteanderson.com/pi

  3. THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
    The Liard River played a significant role in the North West Company's and the HBC's business. It led from the Mackenzie River west into the fur-rich territory of Northern BC, but it was a violent river that flowed through rock-bound steep-walled canyons that were filled with rapids. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthernBC nancymargueriteanderson.com/li

    Once past the turbulent canyons and rapids of the lower Liard River, the explorers came to a calm stretch of water where Fort Halkett was later built.

    In 1839, the HBC men under Robert Campbell made their way up the Liard River to Frances Lake, in #NorthernBC, before moving on to build a new post at Pelly Banks, above the Pelly River in #Yukon Territory. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth nancymargueriteanderson.com/li

  7. THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
    Just across the coastal mountains from Dease Lake, on the Liard River, was an HBC post, built on the Stikine River in 1834. Robert Campbell was unaware of this HBC post, and attempted (unsuccessfully) to reach the fur rich Stikine River basin from the east. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthernBC nancymargueriteanderson.com/st

    The Rapids of the Drowned may have kept my readers wet and cold, but there are worse rapids ahead: however, the hardy and stubborn HBC men made their way through all these dangers to the smooth river above. There were more dangers to come, however. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthernBC #MackenzieRiver #NorthwestTerritories #NWT nancymargueriteanderson.com/li
