concerns about the history of
the north country, She is the
author of two books on In-
dian rock carvings, known as

at various places around the
West Coast. Her most recent
book is called “The
Remarkable World of
Francis Barkley”, and ig
about the wife of explorer
Captain Charles Barkley, for
whom Barkley Sound Is
named.

Barkley wrote no account
of his voyages, according to
Hill, and the only record of
the journeys, aside from the
charts, was the journal of
Frances.

“She was a remarkable
woman, who kept her family
together while her husband
was struggling,” Hill sald.
“He was no businessman,
and had a lot of trouble
dealing with the merchanta
and others who ran the sea

petroglyphs, which ap

“Frances was the force
that kept the family

together.

She was also the first
women to travel around the
world. She travelled with her
husband on his voyages,
which were extensive.”

Hill went to England to
reseatch the story after
finding the journal in Vic-
torla’a archives. She.
travelled through London,

on, and tried to identify with
Barkley as much as possible.
