Yukon Field Force

[Shec]

At the risk of being pedantic I see that today's "Today in Military History" sidebar claims that on this day in 1870 the Yukon Field Force reached Dawson City.  That must have been a cool trick considering the Y.F.F wasn't raised until 28 years later.

Even more difficult to arrive at a place that didn't exist in 1870.
