Natural Beauty
1851
A few undaunted explorers had mapped bits and pieces of the surrounding terrain in the past, but by and large the terrain has been untouched by man.
The first description of the area in writing was by a man in the Hudson’s Bay Company. From a journal entry dated August 5, 1833. “The bay is wide and large, protected to the west by a large Island, and framed to the east by a towering mountain.”
“A number of streams feed the main river, which empties into the bay.”
“Tide pools and rocky beaches are everywhere to be seen, providing ample supplies of fish, clams, crabs and other sea life.”
“Beyond the beaches lie forests with enough timber to supply all the navies of the world.”
“The south side of the river appears to be inhabited by a tribe of Indians, of whom we saw a party along the coast.”
With little knowledge about their surroundings, and completely cut off from civilization, the party of 24 American pioneers set out to build a new life. With only the sweat of hard labor and their quick wits to rely on, destiny was in their hands.
Thanks for stopping by, and I’d be grateful to hear your feedback.
