First of three parts. During the first two and a half decades of Doukhobor life in B.C., Peter Vasil’evich (Lordly) Verigin (1859-1924) spent much of his time travelling between their settlements on Community business. His chief means of local conveyance were horse-drawn carriages, carts and sleighs, dutifully maintained by his followers at key stopping points. But whatever became of them? Remarkably, several of these vehicles still exist today, over a century later. This series traces their subsequent history and fate to the present day. In the first decades of the 20th century, horses provided the primary means of transportation in western Canada. A single horse could pull a wheeled vehicle and contents weighing as much as a ton. At a walk, a horse-drawn vehicle travelled approximately three to six kilometres per hour; at a trot, the speed was around Peter V. Verigin seated in a democrat carriage in Fruktovoye west of Grand Forks, 1912. Photo: GR-197904-015 courtesy of the Royal Continued on A11 BC Museum and Archives
