This blogpost tells the stories of the portages and other landmarks above Swampy Lake, on the upper Hayes River, as described by an Englishman, [Sir] John Franklin, as he came up the River in September 1819.
The HBC men never wrote about or described their portages or landmarks because they were so familiar, so it delights me to find descriptions left behind by Englishmen who followed the HBC trails.
