Fort Walsh

A view of Fort Walsh near the Cypress Hills, established in 1875 after the news of the Cypress Hills Massacre, the North West Mounted Police came to enforce Canadian Law in the area.

My last novel, 'Partners' starts in those very same Cypress Hills. Of course there was no Fort Walsh at the time (1866)just whiskey traders who's presence eventually caused the arrival of the Mounties.
I don't know which way you're headed but if it's back toward BC my next book, available in about 2 weeks takes place around Calgary.
