There were actually four expeditions over ten year period and a cast of characters, who were each important to the story. Troy M. Gipps learned about Leonidas Hubbard. My father who went look for Wallace is an issue by Judy Norman. Hubbard: Hero or Bum? by Jerry Kobalenko. I was a trapper all my life is another issue by Judy Norman. Mina Adelaide Benson was born 1870. Mina Hubbard began her expedition in 1905. Mina Hubbard: Woman Explorer by Roberta Buchanan. Mina Hubbard left North west in 1905. Memories of Uncle Bert by Judy Norman. On a cool over cast morning there were people there to see Mina Hubbard and Dillon Wallace. Stanton's diary picks up the Story in Halifax in early June and continues on until abruptly breaking off in late August. Memories of Pa- Gilbert Blake by Jean Crane & Phyllis Pritchard.
