William Carter

Carter was Winchester's right-hand man and a skilled surveyor. His knowledge of the wilderness proved invaluable during the expedition.

The Journey

The explorers set out from Vancouver in the spring of 1901. Their destination was the uncharted region of the Canadian Rockies, where they hoped to establish a base camp and explore the surrounding wilderness.

Their initial journey was arduous but uneventful. They navigated treacherous mountain passes and dense forests, guided only by a map and a compass.

In July, they reached the site of their base camp, which they named Fort Winchester. It was a secluded spot, surrounded by towering peaks and pristine lakes.

The Disappearance

The explorers spent several weeks at Fort Winchester, exploring the surrounding area and conducting scientific research. On August 10, 1901, they set out on a day trip to explore a nearby glacier.
