Thanks for sharing the info on this website. A number of years ago I
married a Cana-di-an lady from Lethbridge. Over the years of going to visit
relatives I've taken the opportunity to learn about the fur trade north of
the border. It has helped tremendously in my perspective of the
understanding the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade. Fort Whoop Up, Head Smashed In
and other places are incredible sites. Fort Whoop Up has given the
opportunity to visit with and get to know several Blood Indians who work
there as guides. On my last trip there I acquired the complete set (14 or
15 2 hr VHS video cassettes) on the history of Canada produced by the
Canadian Broadcasting Company. I would heartly recommend them to anyone
with a desire to learn our neighbors history. It surely gave me a different
view on our own Revolutionary War time period. Something we never got in
our (USA) history books!!! Thanks again.
