| description: | Hudson's Bay Company post, on the south bank of the Qu'Appelle River. The North West Mounted Police barracks were on the northern hills; the police reserve is now part of the Municipal Golf Links. The House of Colonel MacDonald, Indian Agent under the Treaty of Qu'Appelle, and the store of the Mowat brothers, first rivals of the Hudson's Bay Company at Fort Qu'Appelle, are along the trail to the east. McDonald or Faient Coulee below the north hills. The river is much more sinuous than shown here. Photo from a sketch. |
