Place Names Along the Trails of Early Explorers
A survey recounts early Manitoba exploration from 1610 to 1771 detailing Hudson Bay voyages, explorers like Hudson Kelsey Henday and La Verendrye, forts at York Factory and Portage la Prairie, and the naming of places after captains and traders. It notes fur trade rivals, Royal Charter of 1670, and the shift to surveying with Turner Thompson Fidler, ending with a segment on Manitoba Society of Seniors Senior Citizens Week and aging demographics.
