NO ORDINARY RISKS: FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
James Anderson and James Green Stewart continued their journey along the Great Fish River, travelling from Beechey Lake toward the Arctic Sea some hundreds of miles distant.

NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
As they descended the Great Fish River toward the Arctic Sea, James Anderson and his men saw Muskoxen grazing on the lichen along the banks of the river. Of course, they went hunting these unusual animals.... #Journeys #NWT #NoOrdinaryRisks #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/musk-ox/ -

James Green Stewart, who was James Anderson's second-in-command, kept his own journal of the voyage, but it was a private journal, written for himself and his new wife. Still, you can learn something of the journey from his notes. #Journeys #NWT #NoOrdinaryRisks #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/stewarts-journal-3/ -

James Anderson's journal was the official journal of this expedition North to the Arctic Sea, but James Green Stewart also kept a journal, although one that contained much less information than Anderson's. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/stewarts-journal-2/ -

NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
James Green Stewart was clerk to Robert Campbell at Fort Selkirk, on the #Yukon River, and he made some impressive winter journeys while he was there. A few years later he was assigned the position of second-in-command to James Anderson, who was a much more difficult leader to please. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-green-stewart/ -

In 1852, the Chilcat Indians who came over the mountains from the coast arrived at Robert Campbell's Fort Selkirk, and finding it unprotected by palisades, invaded the post and chased the HBC men away. That was the end of Fort Selkirk. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/destruction-fort-selkirk/ -

The Ramparts of the Mackenzie River were a most impressive sight, and to get to the Peel's River post, on the estuary of the Mackenzie, Robert Campbell had to travel through them--as did every HBC man who travelled up and down the river. #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/ramparts/ -

In 1847, HBC trader Alexander Hunter Murray built Fort #Yukon, on the Yukon River at its junction with the Porcupine. It was the first of two posts to be built on the Yukon River--Robert Campbell built his Fort Selkirk shortly after Murray built Fort Yukon. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-yukon/ -

In 1850, the steamer Beaver hit a submerged rock on the West side of Vancouver's Island, and damaged her keel badly enough that she had to be taken out of service. Interestingly, this accident seems to have been connected with the trade at Fort Selkirk on the #Yukon River, when some expected Indigenous men did not travel from the coast into the interior. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/accident-to-the-beaver/ -

In 1847, both measles and dysentery arrived in the Columbia district, and spread everywhere, following the brigade trails North, and the seacoast all the way up to the #Yukon, via the massive Indigenous Rendezvous held every year on the Stikine River. The diseases killed thousands of Indigenous people. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/measles-and-dysentery/ -

I have found this man in three of my stories: John O'Brien was at Fort Victoria for a short time, and also at Fort Durham, on the northwest coast. Then I found him in the stories of the York Factory Express--after which he must have been sent North to the Athabasca because I also found him there! He was a useless man, unfortunately. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/john-obrien/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
In the Journal of Occurrences of the HBC's post, Fort Selkirk, we can read of the difficulties of keeping alive and well in a country so far from any other community that they must be completely self-sufficient--not an easy task in the North. #Journeys #NoOrdinaryRisks #Yukon #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-selkirk-post-journals/ -

From Finlayson's Lake, north of Frances Lake, Robert Campbell and his men carried their provisions over the low height of land to the banks of the Pelly River, and then canoed down that river to his new post of Fort Selkirk, on the #Yukon River. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/finlayson-lake-to-fort-selkirk/ -

In 1839, Robert Campbell made his first journey up the violent and rapid-filled Liard River to Frances Lake and on to Pelly Banks, on the Pelly River in the #Yukon. No other HBC man had made this journey before him, but many would follow this trail North in later years. #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/liard-4/ -

When Robert Campbell met the Stikine Chief Shkes, at the rendezous of all the First Nations in the region, he was unaware that that same Indigenous Chief had already chased off another HBC man earlier that summer -- Peter Skene Ogden. #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Yukon #Alaska https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/stikine-river-post/ -

The violent Liard River continued to lead the HBC men into the rough territory of Northern #BC, beyond the future location of Fort Halkett and all the way to the Kechika River, which was named Black's River in honour of Samuel Black, the explorer. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Yukon https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/liard-3/
