FORT LIFE HBC

The Blacksmith's Shop



"At the South Western corner [of the fort] was the blacksmith's shop presided over by one Beauchamp, a French Canadian whose blood curling bad language in French and English used to terrify us and from whom, needless to say, we soon picked up some choice expletives for occasional and serendipitous use."
