When researching Canadian history for my novel, THE CLAIM, Two of the interesting names I came across were Forty Mile and Sixty Mile.

Your quote is perfect, Sarah. Another community in Saskatchewan derived its name from water that simply bubbled up from the earth and formed a stream, hence, Swift Current. I love the story behind the name and found it hard to stop. Thank you for stopping by, dear friend and God bless you, as well.Elizabeth Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553904624219542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-10445008737178874562021-02-01T16:27:59.199-06:002021-02-01T16:27:59.199-06:00Thank you, Lindsay.

It's mind-blowing to think someone spent hours hiding out in those caves until the "redcoats" or ranchers moved on. I knew had to use it in one of my books. The memory of the smell of nose-clogging dirt remains vivid all these years later. So glad you enjoyed the excerpt.

Alberta, Saskatchewan and Montana border on each other and have so much in common. I'm glad you liked my excerpt. I set my trilogy in The Thunder-Breeding-Hills because it's such a unique terrain of dense pine forest smack in the middle of the bald-headed prairie...thanks Elizabeth Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553904624219542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-75209087365609119182021-02-01T16:16:48.386-06:002021-02-01T16:16:48.386-06:00Thanks, Christine.

I especially like the names the Indigenous People gave these places--like the name that means "a warm place by the river." What an intriguing vision and feeling that name suggests.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling better. I'm certain you've been through a great deal. Take good care of yourself first and foremost.
