A quick google search suggested the same to me in broad strokes. We know that there was a international boundary survey camp around there established by the Americans in the late 1850s. The general area was the terminus of the Fort Langley and Semiahmoo Trails, and White Rock was a popular place to hunt birds. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I don’t have the expertise to formally appraise and confirm that these are in fact from this period, but it seems very plausible.
