In 1970, Keith Billington, along with 10 other men, embarked on the nearly 800 kilometre trip by dog team, from Fort MacPherson to Dawson City.
This was a commemorative journey of the famous “lost patrol.”
In 1910, a crew of Royal Northwest Mounted Police attempted the same trip, but with a much more tragic outcome.
On Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Williams Lake Library, Keith Billington will recount this amazing journey with a slide show of photos, a talk and readings from his new book, The Last Patrol.
