Excerpt from Report on the Peel River and Tributaries Yukon and MackenzieIt was my original intention on leaving Ottawa to follow identically the same route across the mountains which was taken by the prospectors in 1899, but I was dissuaded from this on reaching Dawson by many of those who came through the Bonnet Plume pass. These men stated that on account of the difficulties of this particular route, any other would be preferable. I could not learn that any one, at any time, whether white man or Indian, had ever taken a canoe across into the Peel River watershed by any other route than the Bonnet Plume pass. Buti did learn that the Indians had come across from the Wind river to the Beaver river through a pass that was said to be very much lower than the Bonnet Plume. It was finally decided if possible to find this winter route and follow it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
