I had time enough for a quick tour of this beautiful garden at Assiniboine Park. I’ll come back one day to see #TheLeaf

And here is the Great War soldiers’ Monument. 🫡
Can you see the Golden Boy atop the Leg in the distance?
And of course, the Canada geese needed to cross the road to the other side.

Last day here in #Winnipeg and I stopped by the Manitoba Legislative Building.
Looking out over the Assiniboine River is this statue of #LouisRiel

I always wondered, why such wars? These two rival companies had been fighting for control for so long. Peter had written in his diaries of the dastardly tactics they used.
But in the end, the 2 merged, and sadly, Peter passed away at (original) Fort Dauphin, MB, in 1822, a retired Clark, forgotten.

I found a map drawn by my GGGG grandfather (he surveyed for the #HBC)
It is a Deposition of Peter Fidler taken at Red River 4th August 1817. It shows #CuthbertGrant and the NW Co’s route they took to Seven Oaks, June 19th, 1816. They roughed up Peter and his son at Brandon House. #PemmicanWars N🔃S

This chair was made with Buffalo (bison) horns. But the real reason for their deaths was more than just for furniture or leather for industry….
It’s worse. 😠
