Sometimes stories come to you in little bits and pieces, and it is up to you to figure out how they fit into the story -- or even if they do fit into the story. These bits and pieces of stories are taken from things that were omitted from my book, and perhaps even stories that I learned later, after the book was published. #YorkFactoryExpress #HBCHistory #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/bits-and-pieces/

I thought it would be interesting to find and read Samuel Black's journals of his voyage down the Columbia River in 1825. However, it was written in pencil and because of its age, in part, it is impossible to read -- such a disappointment. Still, I gave it a try, but ended up telling other gentlemen's stories. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/columbia-river/

The incoming York Factory Express was called the Columbia Express (for its destination), and this is Fort #Victoria's Roderick Finlayson's story of his incoming Express journey to Fort #Vancouver--an express is which John McLoughlin was supposedly also travelling. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/columbia-express/

On his way out of the territory West of the Rocky Mountains, artist Paul Kane reaches Boat Encampment where he waits for the arrival of the incoming York Factory Express led by Thomas Lowe. I think Kane was quite upset that Lowe did not pay him more attention.... #YorkFactoryExpress #Journeys #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/boat-encampment/

The incoming York Factory Express hurried down the Columbia River south of Fort Colvile as they were tired and in a hurry to get home at last, after a long seven-month canoe journey to Hudson Bay and return. As a result of their rush, many of the gentlemen did not keep up their journals on this last leg of the journey. #YorkFactoryExpress #WestOfTheMountains #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/final-leg/

From Fort Colvile, on the Columbia River just south of the boundary line, the York Factory Express men canoes that carry the men out of the territory are joined by the artist Paul Kane, who tells his own story of heading upriver to the mountains with the Express. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-columbia/

George Traill Allan was a tiny man, only 5 1/2 feet tall if that. Yet he joined the HBC and came into the territory west of the Rockies in 1831. Ten Years later, he leads out the York Factory Express as far as Carlton House, and tells the stories that other men do not tell. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #WestOfTheMountains https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/george-traill-allan/
