An interesting addition

[edit]

...but sadly unsourced, so I have removed it:

he led the Fur Brigades on a long journey to see if the Fort Hope trail was good for fur traders to travel along. They went through many hardships including loosing horses, getting bitten by mosquitos and loosing their men. Alexander always rode up front and reported about the happenings on the trail. Mr.Andersons children also travelled with the brigades their names were Eliza and James Anderson Here is James' journal entry

Our father, Alexander Anderson, rides in front of the brigade. He is the trader in charge. It is his duty to lead the way. He must stop the brigade on time if he sees anything blocking our trail. A senior worker rides just behind Father. He carries Father's orders to the rest of the brigade. Strings of pack horses carrying our tents and supplies next. Following them, one after another, are many groups of pack horses carrying our furs. Two riders are responsible for each group. They need all their skill to control the horses during our climb over the mountain and when we have to cross rivers.

5x expanded by Z1720 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:49, 2 July 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • Approve main hook and image The article had its prose 5x expanded today, making it long enough, and it is written neutrally with proper in-line citations. The Copvio Detector found no issues. The hook is short enough, interesting, and cited in-line. I think we should go with the main hook as the more interesting one. The QPQ has been done and the proposed image is in the public domain and will look fine at a smaller size presentation. Everything looks good to go! SilverserenC 22:14, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
