Canadian Indian Boy Murdered To Lay Evil Spirits
Mounted Police arrest five of the tribe and bring them 1,000 miles by canoe and on foot from Fort Liard to Wrangell. They are accused of torturing to death Moccasin, a 17 year old boy, as part of a ritual to drive away spirits blamed for hunger and disease. The case follows reports of brutal tribal killings in northern British Columbia and southern Yukon.

Perilous Journey of Alexander Ross and Party From Fort Okanogan to The Buffalo Plains
The 1824 expedition led by Alexander Ross after leaving Fort Okanogan faced brutal winter, mutiny, and hostile terrain as it pushed toward buffalo grounds. Ross bridged American and British influences, recruited Nez Perces aid, and endured blizzards, snowshoes, and long treks across canyons and mountains while securing meat for his men and maintaining discipline amid mutiny.
