| Description |
English: Looking northward, i.e. up Kahylklst River a a place called "Burnt Bridge", Bella Coola Valley, B.C. It was so named because the original bridge here was burned. Mackenzie, the first white man to cross Canada, came down this river and stopped over night at the Bella Coola village now gone on the east or upper side of its mouth, i.e. its junction with the Bella Coola River, about a mile below here. The bridge was again burned just before the photo was taken in 1922. Remains of two bridges may be seen in the view. If I remember correctly the span is about 74 feet. The fire in 1922 originated by a settler at Firvale, [...]. The bridge was rebuilt in 1922 after this photo was taken. It cost over $1000 to rebuild it. The fire also burned timber for at least 2 miles and spoiled the road in many places. |
