Harmon Journal Tells of Winnipeg River Trip
One hundred and sixty years ago Daniel Williams Harmon a future North West Company bourgeois, journeyed by river from the western border of the province to Fort Alexander on the Winnipeg River. He noted low waters in May 1805, burnt riverbanks, feed shortages for horses, and stops at Montagne a la Bosse and near the Souris mouth. The journal records rival posts, a three-way dance ending in a North West Bowl, and glimpses of early missionary history among local Indians. By June 1 the party neared Pine River and sturgeon hunting opportunities.
