TRANSCRIPT

Safely in Fort Edmonton for the winter, Jarvis and his men set about making friends with the inhabitants and scouting out the surrounding territory. Come spring they are given orders to build a new fort for themselves. The citizens of Edmonton make the mistake of demanding that Jarvis remain in their community. He therefore moves his men as far down the river as his orders allow, building a fort near the mouth of the Sturgeon River, and thus founding Fort Saskatchewan.
