The Blacksmith and his Indentured Servant Recreate an 18'th Century Knife | LIFE IN THE 1700'S |

Peter welcomes Patrick Taylor, a skilled blacksmith, who takes Koen Tholuijsen (The Dutch Explorer) under his wing as an indentured servant. Patrick endeavours to teach Koen some basic blacksmithing, while forging a knife. The knife is a gift for Freda Alfred, the Northern Tutchone interpreter at Fort Selkirk in the Yukon (see our episode "The Colourful History of Fort Selkirk on the Yukon River", in the "Road Trip" playlist). Koen's dog, Lex, also makes an appearance, as does an owl that has been hanging around The Woodland Escape.
