In 1879 Robert Tomlinson was tasked by the Church Missionary Society to establish a new mission in British Columbia’s northwest. From their mission at Kincolith they left, crossing rivers and mountains, they finally found a place that the First Nations had named Ankihtlast (Robert’s spelling). The WaySide Log is a diary kept by Alice Tomlinson (nee Woods), with parts written by her brother Ned, detailing their trek in 1879. This video provides a brief glimpse of the trip.
