Title: York Factory to Fort Langley
Post by: Sir Michael on April 10, 2013, 07:13:58 PM
Not too long ago I ran across a book that chronicled the trip made by George Simpson from York Factory to Fort Langley.  It contains some interesting and detailed descriptions of this trip including equipment references as well as the events of the trip the route taken.  It also has a bit of information on the administration of the operation and some of who's who.

This one looks like I can print it.  Even if I had a lap top, don't think I'd enjoy reading it from the monitor.  I have done no reading from this perspective (north of the border)...it looks to be fascinating.
