O.K. guys now is the time to help my 8 year old daughter with her speech. I need as muchinfo on the history of the B.R. If you can give me sites that she can quote for her teacher thats great. But they much be facts not opinions. They must be able to be backed up.
I know they came to North America through Canada but I don't know who brought them. Remember I need facts.
Anything else regarding history and facts would be great.
On behalf of my 8 year old I thank you.

Jeesh CJ,
Show her some good Canadian work ethics.Just get that girl surfin the net like we all do.That'll make her read and that's how we learn.Tell her to punch into google names of famous roller guys along with the words BR. Black Hills that kinda thing.Nowadays my kids still at home don't bug me with that kinda stuff.Course all they can do is bark or whine.--------
