While vacationing in Steamboat with my female friends, I got to know a cousin of one of these women, a man collects first edition books about the West. He allowed me to sniff around his collection and pull out texts that contained information about Fort Vancouver and the Village. And since I am prone to insomnia, I was able to spend quite a bit of time making copious notes for the Fort Vancouver Mobile project.

I have added my notes to the “Scholarship” page of this site. A special thank you to Bill Harrison for this information.
