From 1904 To 1921, it was an annual RoyaL Northwest Mounted Police tradition to make a trip from Dawson City, Yukon, to Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories, to deliver mail and dispatches. The round trip was approximately 620 miles. In December 1910, then Commissioner of the Force, Aylesworth Bowen Perry, asked instead that the trip be made from Fort McPherson to Dawson City. The 1910 trip was led by Inspector Francis Joseph Fitzgerald.
