Aug. [August] 26, 1942. Okanagan Landing.
Information from Major Allan [Cyril] Brooks.
Louis Kirkpatrick who came to
the Okanagan in 1856 reported that
at time + in the 60's + 70's sheep
were abundant in the hills E [east] of
the lake north to the vicinity of
Penticton + on the West side to
Shorts Creek. In the 1870's domestic
sheep were brought into the valley
+ an epidemic of scab broke
out in the wild stock. This
almost wiped them out
One sheep was killed at Lavington
E [east] of Vernon date? [space left blank] but this
stray was the only one known
so far north. From Squally Point
on Ok. [Okanagan] Lake, all the way south past
Dog Lake, Vasseaux [Vaseux] Lake + to Osoyoos
sheep were primitively abundant
When [Allan Cyril] Brooks visited Apex Peak -
Then Pearson Mt [Mountain] in 1919 there were
no sheep present but he found
signs of their former presence.
In the 80's Gartrell reported some
sheep at Summerland.
Between 1890 + 1900 there was a
sheep killed swimming the Fraser
20 miles N [north] of Quesnel + another one
was killed just south of the town
