British Columbia Tourism Region : Cariboo Chilcotin Coast

Description From Owner:

After Alexander Caulfield Anderson, born in Calcutta in 1814 and educated in England.
He entered the service of the HBC and arrived at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River in 1832.
During the 1840s he made important explorations of the country between Fort Kamloops and Fort Langley.
He left the service of the HBC in 1854. In 1858 Governor Douglas commissioned him to open up a route from the lower Fraser River, via Harrison Lake and Lillooet, to the upper Fraser.
Douglas was so pleased with this survey that he expressed a wish that Anderson would bestow his own name upon this lake, which was an important part of the route.
ANDERSON RIVER, which flows westward into the Fraser near Boston Bar, is also named after A.C. Anderson.
