I grew up on the Red River of the North and I never read about, nor heard oral history from old-timers, of a flood (let alone a major flood) in 1826. No one was recording floods that early either. One of the early and major floods of record was 1897. Others after that were 1948, 1950, 1966, 1969, 1979, and 1997. There were other minor floods in other years. I challenge the 1826 date... -- 6 October 2005 (UTC) Trish Lewis

You can challenge it but every Canadian historian will tell you you've been hearing your oral history from Americans. --AlexWCovington (talk) 01:47, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
