1816 – The North West Company battles with The Hudson Bay Company.
From The Canadian Encyclopedia
Again, I am on Main Street dodging cars and sun, so I shot the mural in sections. I present them in order from left to right.
After a scuffle, Semple grabbed the reins of Francois Bouchard’s horse. One called the other a scoundrel, and battle quickly ensued.
The battle lasted 15 minutes. When it was over, Semple and 21 of his men were dead.

Plus besoin de livre d’histoire, les graffeurs se chargent de vous raconter l’histoire. 🙂
Une bonne idée. Merci.
