North West Co. fort on North Saskatchewan river, known as Middle Fort or Half-way House. Alexander Henry Jr. passed it Sept. 5, 1808, and observed that "it had been abandoned many years ago". Thompson also passed the site in 1808. It was 2&fract12; hours down from Carlton (Crossing Place) and 1 hour before Yellow Banks, and 2&fract12; hours above the site of old Hudson's House. It was about halfway between Carlton and Prince Albert.
