Walker (1907-2003) in "An Early History of the Research Branch, British Columbia Ministry of Forests and Range" (p. 48)

2004.1.2.4.69 · Item · 16 August 1934
Part of Phipps-Mackenzie Collection

Photograph depicts the supply laden canoes of the Bedaux expedition at Pete Toy's bar, taken during the Bedeaux Canadian Sub-Arctic Expedition in the summer of 1934. Original annotation on photograph recto: "River boats on the Peace River". However, this annotation is likely incorrect; if this photograph does depict Pete Toy's bar, the location of the photograph is actually the Finlay River. There may be an error in the original annotation. Also annotated on the back of this print is the code "B-04444" which denotes the same photograph in the collection of the BC Archives.
