The challenge of the Yukon! Thank you very much! Wonder God, King! With this and strong is the best of all these dogs. Places the trail to storm and snow for Sergeant Preston. At he meets the challenge of the Yukon!
Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest noted police who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed.
