Beverley writes:
Wheeler, Florien and George Grasset went west as part of the famous Overlanders group in the spring of 1862. They gathered at Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) and on Jun 02, 1862, they began their 900 mile trek to Fort Edmonton. After arriving they sold their worn out stock and abandoned their Red River Carts and bought fresh horses and oxen for packing. From there they travelled the treacherous, unmarked route to Tete Jaune Cache, facing near starvation and other hardships along the way. When they reached Tete Jaune Cache Aug. 27, 1862, they divided into two groups. One would take the stock across country to the South towards the headwater of the North Thompson River, to Kamloops, then to the Cariboo. Wheeler and Florien built rafts and canoes and travelled the dangerous Fraser River to Quesnel. The survivors reached Quesnel Sept. 1862. By Feb. 1863, they were in Victoria, B.C.
This was taken from letters to John G. Buchanan.
