[edit] Hmmm MilHistory project?
Just looked back to see what tag was removed in the previous edit to the placement of the BC project....which was the Military History Wikiproject. Got me scratching my head a bit, as while most of the fur trade posts don't have a military history, or their history isn't primarily military, there are aspects of Fort Langley's role in local history that are decidedly military; repelling a Euclataws invasion/attack, and also the role of the Royal Engineers during the McGowan's War incident, and also in the survey of the original Ft. Langley at Derby (two miles downstreawm); still, not primarily a military history, and it wasn't a military establishment per se, though its history does have military aspects. But then, if we applied it here, it would also apply at Fort Victoria, Nanaimo's bastion, Fort Rupert, Fort Kamloops, Fort Shepherd etc. - none of which were military forts, but which all saw battles/fortification needs. Fort Vancouver ranks in MilHist, or should, because since the fur trade it's also been a US military installation, though.Skookum1 20:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
