YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1849:
"Before 4pm we overtook the Oxford House boat and arrived at the Above place #OxfordHouseMB about half an hour before them, where we put ashore and had dinner given us by Mr. Robertson.
"Sunday. Made two Portages before breakfast, the Knife Handled Place and Trout Fall. Had two hours sail in the evening. Put ashore for the night almost at the end of Knee Lake, which Mr. Sinclair informs me is 60 miles in length. #HistoricJourney #HayesRiver #AmWritingHistory
