Comment - since Fort Durham/Taku was abandoned by the 1840s or '50s, before the first camera was brought to the region (in the 1860s), it's highly unlikely that any photo of this will ever turn up :-| "reqmap" is more appropriate and there's a map upcoming (I hope soon) of Fts durham, Stikine, Simpson and McLoughlin, maybe Fort Rupert as well depending on teh range of hte map. I'll see what I can do about fleshing out the history here a bit, as other articles alraedy relate to it, though in a very scattered way; it and Fort Stikine both have complex stories to do with Russian Ameic an/HBC_British arrangements in the region (and had they not been abandoned, it would ahev been much harder later on for hte US to argue for hte boundary it got in 1903...). The only possible photo here, to get back to that, is of the site/location; maybe at least a flickr link or another such gallery site could be externally linked≥Skookum1 (talk) 02:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
