| | There is some discussion about Mount Slaggard (4,742 metres / 15,559 feet). MacBride Museum agrees with Les McLaughlin that Frank Slaggard was a White River prospector along with Clem Emminger, Bill Blair, and others who staked claims on the White River between 1900 and 1958.((MacBride Museum Stories, "This artifact rocks." //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 10 September 2008.)) On the internet, 2015 Mountain Field Guide says James Slaggard prospected the region around the mountain during the Klondike gold rush.((2014 website: Mount Slaggard)) Robert Coutts thinks Joseph R. Slaggard was a pioneer prospector with M.C. Harris and Solomon Albert in the Mount Slaggard area in the early 1900s.((R. C. Coutts, //Yukon Places and Names.// Sidney, BC: Gray’s Publishing Ltd., 1980: 243.)) If there were three men named Slaggard prospecting in the region then the mountain is suitably named. |
