Fort Vancouver in 1845

Title
Fort Vancouver in 1845
Description
In 1824 Dr. John McLoughlin built the first Fort Vancouver on a broad high prairie nearly a mile back from the river. It had no block houses, which is evidence of the amicable relations between Dr. McLoughlin and the Indians. They called him "White Eagle Chief". In 1828 he built a new fort near the river - just out of reach of higher water. The sketch shown here is of this fort at about the time Dr. McLoughlin resigned from the service of the Hudson Bay Co., after having been its Chief Factor and the outstanding figure in the history of the Northwest for more than two decades.
