YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1826:
"Morning fine and clear Weather, but towards Day light a Thick Fog hung over the bed of the Columbia River . At 6.45 we completed our Descent of the Arrow Lake, which I estimate to be about 20 Leagues in extent. We then re-entered the River. Immediatly below this Entry, McGillivray's [Kootenay] River joins the main Branch It is a River of considerable importance & appears little less than the River we follow.
