Challenge of the Yukon: Cabin on the Trail

The challenge of the Yukon of the King! King, the swiftest, strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest mounted police, who preserved lawn order in the Yukon during the Gold Rush of 98.

That was the year that brought over 50,000 men swarming into the Klondike region. and the greed for gold led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But, in spite of the odds against them, the force preserved a splendid record in maintaining the right.

The challenge of the North was answered, and justice ruled triumphant. Harry Jenkins, a well-to-do writer, came to the Yukon to gather material for a book. He heard much of the men who rushed to the North Country to get rich quick.

The good outfit and sturdy dogs he set out to see these miners, the lucky ones and the unfortunate. He visited Indian tribes and presented them with gifts. It delighted him to see their faces glow when they saw the great heavy gold watch he carried.

It was early morning when Jenkins and his guide Pierre Beaumont waved a last goodbye to Chief Charlie and his people. Hi Chief. Maybe we'll see you again sometime. Harry Jenkins didn't know it, but that was his last time to see Chief Charlie or anyone else.

The next day, Sergeant Preston stopped for a moment at the Indian Village. Well, I'm sorry, Charlie. I want to get the half-mile this afternoon. The next time I come by this way, I'll plan to spend more time with your people.

White man always much in hurry. White people missy Red Coat. This kind of weather that red coat has to be covered with something to keep out the wind. Me, shell white man skin yesterday, keeping warm.
