Note 167 — Chapter XXIV
J. V. (Jedediah Vincent) Huntington translation
The Rocky Mountain House, at this place, is usually spoken of as Jasper House from a North West clerk by the name of Jasper Hawse, who was stationed here for some years. It was situated on the second or Burnt (Brulé) Lake, and was “a miserable concern of rough logs.” A few years later the Hudson’s Bay Company built a better post on the first, or Jasper Lake, which was the Rocky Mountain House for the Athabascan route.
