This one is located in the little town of 100 Mile House in central British Columbia. The influence of the early day fur trader and explorer, Peter Skene Ogden, from which Utah are derived its name, has been keenly felt over such a wide span of miles. The name of the town of 100 Mile House came from the fact that it grew up on the 100 mile marker on the Old Cariboo Trail to the goldfields. From his many writings and those of other historians it is apparent that Peter was familiar with this American continent as far north as Nass River and eastward to Athabaska and Red River in British Columbia (then called New Caledonia) and as far south as the Great Salt Lake and the Gulf of Mexico. The Ogden family roots in America date back to John Ogden who settled on Long Island in 1640. At the time of the American Revolution his descendants were Loyalists Peter Skene was born in 1794 at Quebec where his father was a judge There the borders of the vast western wilderness beckoned him away in his teens from his law studies He started with the Northwest Fur Co but later changed to the Hudson Bay Co. One of his daughters, Sarah Julia, and her husband, Archibald McKinley, were the first to settle at Lac la Hache on the 116 mile marker in British Columbia in 1862. This grew to be a great social center on the freighting trail. Peter Skene having died at Oregon City, Oregon on Sept 27, 1854 his widow Julia and the younger children made their home with the McKinleys there She died there in January of 1886 and is buried there. One of Peter and Julia Ogdens grandaughters, Margaret Ogden, married Gavin Hamilton also at Lac la Hache. Their descendants are still prominent in that part of the country. The good reputation of Peter Skene Ogden, Jr. may have combined with that of his famous father to earn for the family the distinction of having the modern high school serving that area perpetuate their name in the title, Peter Skene Ogden Senior Secondary. At first students from outside the town boarded in 100 Mile House during the school year. In recent years school busses are beginning to cover a radius of 30 to 40 miles.

They reported the first known sighting of the Great Salt Lake. From there they could see that the Bear River emptied into the lake, thus ending the speculation that it was connected with the Colorado River. They also observed that New River (later named Ogden River by others) also emptied into the lake. At least two more trips into this Utah area were by expeditions led by Ogden. On one of them they traveled down Ogden Canyon to the present site of Ogden City. taken by It would be appropriate if some time in the near future close personal ties could be established between Ogden, Utah and the Ogdens 1,200 miles away in British Columbiua.

His wife, Julia Rivet, the majestic Indian princess at Fort Spokane whom he wooed and won with a gift of 50 of the finest horses in the territory, traveled with him on the trip and brought their four children along also. While camped in the present Ogden Valley they encountered difficulties with Americans led by Etienne Provost and Johnson Gardner who informed them they were intruding into United States territory and they better leave immediately if not quicker. Actually both were wrong because it was then Mexican territory. Even though he looked down the muzzles of guns, Ogden refused to be bullied Joe Meek tells that during the excitement some of the deserting freemen stamped the Ogden parts horses. The beautiful gold colored mare that she had received as a wedding present and on which she had tied 8 month old Michael in his bag to the saddle was among them. Julia ran into the American camp. Sure enough Michael was there screaming at the top of his lungs. She mounted and spurred out, only pausing long enough to grab the halter rope of ore of their pack horses which was loaded with their furs. The Americans were thankful to be rid of the bawling baby but their guns leveled at her when she retrieved the load of furs also.
