World famous hunter Selous visited Dawson on hunting trip
Captain Frederick Courtenay Selous, recently killed in South Africa, toured Yukon in 1880s with Charley Gage as a guide. He hunted caribou, moose, and mountain sheep near the Pelly river and Ogilvie range. He praised the country, shared tales of lions and tigers, and praised the camp’s harmony and his remarkable gun capable of shooting from hummingbird to elephant. He died at 65, remembered for his hunting lore and leadership.
