Pete Boxton

Pete Boxton was a professor before he came to the Yukon during the gold rush. He worked as a miner and then became a trapper. He made the best part of his living by trapping wolves around the middle of the three Pelly Lakes where he lived. Once a year he made the 150-mile trip to Ross River with his furs to get supplies. In the summer he grew a good garden. When Fred Guder visited, he sent him on his way with his two dogs loaded down with turnips.¹⁾
