NO ORDINARY RISKS: EXPLORATIONS FROM HUDSON BAY TO THE ARCTIC SEA
Later day Klondikers had difficulty with the confusing part of the river that the HBC men understood and never spoke of. The sometimes-reversing but always Rapid filled Riviere des Roches led all the men out of Athabasca Lake and on to Great Slave Lake. #NoOrdinaryRisks #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/klondike-trail-5/ -

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
The #WallaWalla Indigenous Chief named Peu-peu-mox-mox was well known to the HBC men and had many names: Yellowbird, Yellow Serpent, Serpent Jaune, and more. He died a brutal death, however, murdered by members of a group of Volunteer Army privates who hated him because he was Indigenous. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #WAHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/peu-peu-mox-mox/ -

Dysentery came in with the wagon trains that followed the #Oregon Trail, as we know. In 1846, measles also crossed the continent to California and infected thousands of Indigenous people. From the Sacramento River these diseases travelled north to Fort Nez Perces #WallaWalla, and then north and west again to the northwest coast, the #Yukon, and beyond. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/measles-and-dysentery/
