    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on Fort Selkirk in Yukon. Hudson's Bay Co. clerk Robert Campbell was determined to convince his superior to allow him to return to the place to rebuild his Yukon trading post. A trading post near the site of Campbell's has been set up by Arthur Harper in 1889 and the Saint Andrew's Anglican Mission was erected by Reverend T. H. Canham in 1892. It cites the efforts of the government's Heritage Resources Unit to preserve the history of Fort Selkirk.
