THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA: James Anderson and James Green Stewart are heading North from Great Slave Lake, portaging through many small lakes to the headwaters of the Great Fish River which will carry them to the shores of the Arctic Sea. This is James Anderson's story of his passage over the Mountain Portage. #ThreeJourneysNorth #Journeys #NWT https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-andersons-journey-4/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA: The wealth offered by the Liard River played a significant role in the North, and it attracted the men of the North West Company west from the Mackenzie River, leading them to the Nahanni, Dease Lake, and eventually the #Yukon River. The HBC men followed them, and they too followed the first explorers through the Liard&#39;s violent rapids and narrow canyons. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/liard-river/

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA: Just across the coastal mountains from Dease Lake, on the Liard River, was an HBC post, built on the Stikine River in 1834. Robert Campbell was unaware of this HBC post, and attempted (unsuccessfully) to reach the fur rich Stikine River basin from the east. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NorthernBC https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/stikine-river-post/
