Roadhouses in Alaska and the Yukon Territory

    This information was published in The White Horse Star of January 16, 1901. The next week, on January 23, 1901, the newspaper noted that a winter patrol for the Dawson - White Horse route had been established by the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP). It was "the longest of a police or military nature ever established in the latitude on the western hemisphere".
