As early as 1820 much of the winter travel between Fort Douglas (Winnipeg) and Pembina was carried on by means of dog teams of four or six dogs hitched to a sledge or cariole, with a load of a couple hundred pounds or more, and fair time was made en route. In the '70s, mail was- carried in this manner during the winter months between St. Paul and Winnipeg via Pembina; also between Fort Abererombie and Fort Totten and to other points. A pound of pemmican was a day's feed for each of the dogs. The Gen. George A. Custer Expedition to the Black Hills in 1874 and the Jenny Expedition sent there by the U. S.
