Some Old Forts Of The Canadian West
A historical sketch covers Fort Ellice built in 1831 on Beaver Creek and Touchwood Hills posts. It recalls Hudson Bay Company shifts, buffalo decline, railways, and thriving horse trades. Carlton’s 1810 founding, smallpox and Cree conflicts, pemmican trade, Franklin’s visit, and 1881 homage to the Marquis of Lorne are noted, ending with a page 9 conclusion.
