pp. 240, “Fort Steele began in 1864 as the site of John Galbraith’s ferry, which transported eager gold seekers across the Kootenay River to nearby Wild Horse Creek. Major Sam Steele’s “D” Division of the North West Mounted Police built Kootenay Post here in 1887 and helped alleviate tensions between white settlers and the Native Ktunaxa people. With all disputes settled peacefully and Steele recalled to Alberta to take on a new challenge, the appreciative residents renamed the town in 1888 to honour the highly regarded Mountie.
