My next book is about the HBC Brigades that ran from #FortStJames to Fort #Vancouver #WA, and in later years over the Coquihalla (Tulameen Plateau) to #FortLangley. Here is the story of the leg of their journey from Fort Alexandria, on the Fraser River, to "Drowned Horse Lake," in the early years. (The #Book will be published in spring, 2024, all going well) #BritishColumbia #MetisHistory #History #Transportation #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-three/

My new book, The HBC Brigades, will be published in spring 2024, if all goes well. It is about the HBC Brigades that carried the furs out to Fort #Vancouver #WA, and who later returned home with the trade goods needed for the next winter. History is fascinating, and this history is huge! #HBC #History #MetisHistory #HistoricJourney #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-st-james/
