Excerpt From Hind Expedition Journal August 11 13
In this segment the Assiniboine and Saskatchewan Exploring Expedition describes river conditions at mid August. The party notes rich alluvial soils, thick forests, island channels, and frequent mud flats as they travel toward Cumberland House. They endure a storm and mosquitoes, report distances covered, and record interactions at Fort a la Corne and Cumberland with pemican, a new canoe, and arrivals of brigades from York Factory.
