Alberta History __ "When French fur traders led by the La Vérendrye family began to tap the western trade during the 1740s, the Hudson's Bay Company decided to act. In 1754, the HBC asked a young netmaker at York Fort, Anthony Henday, to mount a trading expedition to find the “Black Foot people” and to seek trade with the chief and his people."

The History of Agriculture in Alberta __ "How did agriculture become the industry just described, in such a new land and in such a relatively short time? The first white man to cultivate the soil in what is now Alberta was Peter Pond, a fur trader who established an isolated post near Lake Athabasca. In 1779 he was raising vegetables in his small garden. More than half a century later, in 1857, the explorer Captain John Palliser travelled the southern Prairies and pronounced the land and climate unsuitable for agriculture. Soon after that, settlers began to move into the area and Palliser's contention was disproved."
