Nancy Marguerite AndersonTHE HBC BRIGADES, 1826:
"The Horses are much fatigued, & many of them have swellings on the sides occasioned by the Kegs, and other hard pieces they carry. The country we are now in is completely parched up, & in many places has been lately overrun by fire, consequently affords but scanty provisions for the Horses, which added to the myriads of insects by which they are tormented night and day, reduces the poor beasts very much.
