THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, AND PERILOUS JOURNEYS OF THE FUR TRADE
#Blogpost In 1849, the Simikameen and Kettle Valleys led the HBC men home to Fort Colvile, from the base of the #Tulameen Plateau. The Kettle River was [and still is] a particularly beautiful stretch of river valley, easy on the horses and on the men also. #HBCHistory #AmWritingHistory #HistoricJourney https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/kettle-valley/

#Blogpost In 1859, Royal Engineer Lieutenant Henry Spencer Palmer rode over the brigade trail to Fort Colvile, at the side of Angus McDonald. This story begins at the junction of the #Tulameen River with the #Similkameen -- in other words, where #Princeton #BC stands today. #HBCHistory #HistoricJourney #AmWritingHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/similkameen-brigade-trail/

Collins Gulch would lead the HBC men up the sloping side of the Tulameen Plateau from Campement des Femmes (Women's Camp) at #Tulameen #BC to the height of the mountains. This sloping gully was only the beginning of the journey across the height of land to #FortLangley #HistoricJourney #AmWritingHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/collins-gulch/

From what is now #Tulameen, B.C. Collins Gulch led the HBC men under Deputy Governor Eden Colvile up the north side of the Tulameen Plateau to the height of land and, eventually, Fort #Hope #BritishColumbia. It was 1849, and Colvile suggested many changes to the mountain trail. #BCHistory #BritishColumbia #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/collins-gulch/

While I researched my upcoming book, The HBC Brigades, I discovered a list of grass-seeds that James Douglas ordered from England, and forwarded from #Victoria #BC to #FortLangley to be sown on the Brigade trail that led over the #Tulameen Plateau -- all food to feed the horses, of course! #BCHistory #BritishColumbia #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/grasses/

From Nicola Lake to #Kamloops, #BritishColumbia, following in the footsteps of my great-grandfather Alexander Caulfield Anderson, as he returned home from the ending of his second expedition to #FortLangley and back.
