THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1842, young Augustus Peers joined the HBC trade and sailed to York Factory to begin his many adventures in the New World. He would end his work at Peel's River post (now Fort McPherson), about as far north on the Mackenzie River as an HBC could go. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/augustus-peers-journal/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
After the long journey north to the shores of the Arctic Sea and return, James Anderson makes his way to Artillery Lake. His next stop is Great Slave Lake, but first he and his men have to make their way past the Rat's Lodge. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/rats-lodge/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
At long last, James Anderson and his small party of explorers made their way through Musk Ox Lake, and followed the Great Fish river south to Lake Aylmer and Clinton Colden Lake. They were almost home, but they still had a long way to go. #Journey #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-to-clinton-colden-lake/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In 1855, James Anderson travelled south from the shores of the Arctic Sea, making his way up a rapid-filled Great Fish River to his home post on the Mackenzie River. He and his party still had a long way to go before they reached the safety of Great Slave Lake. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/river-of-rapids/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Chief Trader James Anderson's journey south from the Arctic Sea continues, as he and his men follow up the last few miles of the Great Fish River. In this journey they will reach Beechey Lake, or at least they will almost reach that lake. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/andersons-journey-continues/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In late summer 1855, James Anderson and his small party of explorers reach one of the Sideways Lakes so named by the Inuit. I thought it was Beechey Lake, but I was wrong. If I got lost in my own story, then consider how these men feel when they are so far from home and winter is approaching! #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Nunavut #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-at-beechy-lake/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
On their southward journey home after visiting the shores of the Arctic Sea, James Anderson's men made quick work and in no time at all reached Lake Garry once again. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-at-lake-garry/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
At last, in summer 1855, James Anderson and his small party of explorers began their journey south from the shores of the Arctic Sea, hoping to make it back to Great Slave Lake before winter set in in earnest. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/journey-home/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
A poet heard the story of James Anderson's search for Sir John Franklin's lost men, and of course he wrote a fantastical poem celebrating the event. This is the story of the ship in which Franklin's men were supposedly still aboard.... #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Nunavut #Poetry https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/story-of-a-ship/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
In mid-summer 1855, Chief Trader James Anderson and his small party of men moved on from Montreal Island to the Adelaide Peninsula which stood just to the east. This they searched, looking for signs of Sir John Franklin's lost men. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #Nunavut https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/adelaide-peninsula/
