Creator
Today there is no river named Algoma. However, the Algoma District is an electoral riding that follows the shore of Lake Superior north of Sault Ste. Marie, as well as inland about the St. Mary's River. This district has many rivers, so it is impossible to know exactly which one Simpson's party were on.
