Failed routes from Edmonton to Dawson City
Routes taken by Inspector J.D. Moodie (1897) and Sgt. Charles Constantine (1905) from Edmonton heading for Dawson City. They were sent by the Canadian government to investigate the establishment of a permanent road link between central Canada and the Klondike, in order to maintain Canadian sovereignty in the area. Both expeditions ended in failure and a route through this part of the country was not established.
