Talk:Germansen River



...Many pioneers have followed Germansen, for he had led the van of the northwest pathfinders, years and years ago. Look on the map of the Canadian Northwest Territory and you'll see Germansen's Lake and Germansen's Landing. He was the first to cross from that country to Fort Simpson, away back in 1868. The life story of that hardy pioneer is an interesting narrative, and in answer to my request for it, he untied a few knots of himself, drew his brawny hand across his forehead, and began : I was born in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, in 1843, on the site of an old abandoned Indian village, and in the sight of an Indian tepee, and I have been in sight of them almost ever since...

In case somebody wants to dig into this story. Lotje (talk) 14:51, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
