Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 51. Caption on the back says, "John and Smokey March 1941". That's Stan's little boy, his oldest boy, John Turner. This was taken at their cabin down at the foot of the Long Reach on the Liard, the north side of the Liard if you will. The Liard is kind of running at an angle.
Photographer: unknown
Caption Source: Bill Addison because we ran out of tape & time (at 1 am) before Charlie could
describe it.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Mar 03: The buildings suggest that this was taken in the mid to late
1930s or 1940s
Caption on back of photo: "#51 Bennett Creek below canyon. Bill Clark"
Caption Source: Bill Clark
Photographer: Carl Falcon
WDA's Comments, 2013 Jun 30: Bennett Creek is not a very big creek here. It seems too small compared to other photos, suggesting that this photo may be closer to its headwaters and, thus, not below the canyon.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Mar. 10: This photo appears to be of the Nahanni Range and could have been taken from the Liard River. Ole Lindberg was hired by Fielding to get him up the river to supposedly investigate Phil powers death. Powers' death had been investigated by Duncan Martin in 1932 so it is difficult to understand why Fielding is going up again to investigate. Fielding's trip is not reported in Shaw's 1960 article "Valley of No Return" in the RCMP Quarterly 25(3): 217-229, so his trip was probably just a routine patrol trip and had nothing to do with reinvestigating Powers' death. It is unclear whether Fielding's trip was in 1933 or 1934.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Mar. 10: This photo is likely near the confluence of the Flat and South Nahanni Rivers. RCMP Cpl. Fielding was being taken upriver by Ole Lindberg to supposedly investigate Phil powers death. Powers' death had been investigated by Duncan Martin in 1932 so it is difficult to understand why Fielding is going up again to investigate. Fielding's trip is not reported in Shaw's 1960 article "Valley of No Return" in the RCMP Quarterly 25(3): 217-229, so his trip was probably just a routine patrol trip and had nothing to do with reinvestigating Powers' death.

[Likely lake sediment banks in near the Flat River-South Nahanni confluence on a regular patrol trip by RCMP Cpl. Fielding and Ole Lindberg or to investigate Phil Powers' death.]
Milt Campbell's Audio Caption for photo: 52. That's John. The caption on the back says "He thinks a packboard is fun now. I wonder if he will always. February 1941". I believe John is still down at Simpson.
