THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1823, and in 1828, two different sets of canoes made their way to Cumberland House and beyond: both sets of canoes were on their way to the west side of the mountains, by two different routes. #Journeys #OxfordHouse #MBHistory #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/two-canoes-four/

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1847:
"Much rain in the morning. Got the canoe and luggage carried across Robertson's Portage before breakfast. Overtook the #Saskatchewan Brigade in the forenoon at Upper Hell's Gates, and Mr. O'Brien left the boats to embark with us in the canoe. Encamped near the end of Oxford Lake.
"27th. Fine day. Reached #OxfordHouse at breakfast time and remained there about an hour. The River is very low and we had a great many Portages to make. #MBHistory #AmWritingHistory
