Leonard White (steamboat captain)

I changed the link from Leonard White to Leonard White (steamboat captain), the first Leonard White isn't the same fellow, and there seems to be no article yet on Leonard White the steamboat captain.Mtsmallwood (talk) 17:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Fortynine Creek

I just happened to see this while sourcing material on Priest Rapids (British Columbia),which will get written if i can find enough material.....it's pretty clearly named after the steamboat but the BCGNIS entry doesn't say that; see {{BCGNIS|The Fortynine Creek}}.Skookum1 (talk) 22:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

not quite sure on that, couldn't the creek named after the border as the steamboat was? Local name history might be source.Mtsmallwood (talk) 22:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty far from the border for that to be teh case - 51-28 N, and the normal latter-day usage re the border is "the 49th Parallel", and as you can see from this BCGNIS radius search around Priest Rapids it's right in between the mouth of Downie Creek and the townsite of Downie Creek, British Columbia 51°30′07″N 118°22′18″W / 51.50194°N 118.37167°W and 51°27′52″N 118°27′45″W / 51.46444°N 118.46250°W respectively; The Fortynine Creek is at 51°28′00″N 118°29′00″W / 51.46667°N 118.48333°W, which is the same area as Laporte, although that's not on the BCGNIS listing (Downie Creek lasted a much longer time than Laporte...i.e. quite conceivably this was the northern end of its run and its final-port-of-call...did you note my inline comments about the limits of the route being longer than simply Revelstoke to Boundary btw?)Skookum1 (talk) 22:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
