Henday volunteered to undertake an expedition into this territory. He was a native of the . On June 26, 1754, he set out with a group of Plains Indians. It is documented that they passed the French Fort Paskoya were he may have met La Corne , the western commander at that time. This trip, and later ones, took Henday across much of the prairies of what is now Saskatchewan and Alberta and although his journal cannot always be put in a modern context, it is evident that he brought much trade to York Factory . Records show that some of the trade also went to the French at Fort Saint-Louis ( Fort De La Corne ) and Fort Paskoya which were on the route to Hudson's Bay. He left the service of the HBC in 1762 largely because his efforts for the company, at least in his estimation, had not been properly recognized. Anthony Henday Drive , a large ring road currently under construction in Edmonton is named in honour of him. EXTERNAL LINKS |
