58. Our First Tourist

OUR FIRST TOURISTS

(Near Blue River)

In July 1863, Lord Milton and r. Cheadle laboured through this rugged mountain pass on a trans-continental tour.  The Englishmen, travelling ‘for pleasure’, with an Indian guide and his family, completed the arduous trek form Yellowhead Pass to Kamloops in 42 days.  The doctor’s journal of the trip is now a classic in the province’s historical records.
