It's a series of historical recreations along those lines. The first was Homesteading in Manitoba, then the one you saw, and the current one "Klondie - Quest for the gold". You can see the page for "Quest for the Bay" here: http://www.historytelevision.ca/quest/ *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
