124 Charlie Hansen with one of his children, Fort Simpson, ca. 1940s
N-2022-003: 0898 · Object · [194-?]
Part of W. D. Addison Nahanni collection

Caption Source: : Bill Addison because we ran out of tape & time (at 1 am) before Charlie
could describe it.
Photographer: unknown
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 13: I don't know how many children Charlie and Edna had. In
the interview Charlie says a son was born in 1938 or 1939 not long before he went to Edmonton
to buy his little Cat 15 tractor and Photo 12 shows his daughter, Harriet May Hansen. There may
have been other children. I don't know which child is in this photo with Charlie.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 13: If this is not taken at Fort Simpson on the edge of the fields
behind (west) of the town, the only other places with a background where Charlie was are
Edmonton when he bought his Cat 15 tractor or near Grimshaw as they started their journey
north with the tractor.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 13: I dated this photo very approximately by Charlie's
appearance. I do not recognize either of the other two people. They may be at a wood cutting
camp near Fort Simpson but there is no other photo with a shack like this in it. The person on the
left may be Joe Hope based on Charlie's verbal descriptions but I have no photo in which Joe
Hope is identified for comparison purposes.
127 an exhausted C Hansen after feeding 200 construction workers for 2 years, Fort Simpson, ca. 1960-62

WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 13: Charlie worked very hard all his life. He literally could not
sit still. The WW II years and the boom that followed in the 1940s were pmticularly hard on an
ulcer that he had had for some time. Finally he realized that if he didn't do something about it he
was going to die. After recuperating from that operation by building houses and market
gardening in Edmonton, Andy Whittington sold him the hotel about 1957. He spent 2 years
fixing it up and turning it into a going concern. Then Edmonton Construction asked him to partly
house and feed all 200 construction workers who were building new hostels for the residential
schools in Fort Simpson. He did so for two years, operating on 4.5 6 hours sleep a night. He
baked 120 loaves of bread a day, mixing the dough by hand and hand slicing with a knife all the
bacon for breakfasts. No wonder he looked like this by the end of the job and no wonder that he
sold the hotel when the job was done. (See the interview for details.)
