Yellowhead
From Free net encyclopedia
Yellowhead was the nickame of Pierre Bostonais (d. 1827) a furtrader and explorer. The Yellowhead Pass in the Rocky Mountains on the border between British Columbia and Alberta is named after him. Indirectly, because of the pass, several other geographical features of Western Canada are named after him:
- Yellowhead County, Alberta
- Yellowhead Highway
- Yellowhead (electoral district)
- West Yellowhead (electoral district)
- Tête Jaune Cache, British Columbia (Tête Jaune is French for "Yellow Head")
Yellowhead is also a brand of beer brewed by the Alley Kat Brewing Company of Edmonton, Alberta.
