EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the North-West Mounted Police based in Edmonton during the early days of the Klondike/Yukon Gold Rush in 1898. The image, taken by an American photographer from the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. In this group portrait, we see a distinguished gathering of uniformed Mounties standing proudly alongside their loyal canine companions. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers exude authority and strength as they prepare to maintain law and order amidst the chaos that ensued during this gold rush era. The men don their iconic red serge uniforms with polished brass buttons, epitomizing tradition and discipline. Their presence commands respect as they hold walking sticks or canes, symbolizing both elegance and authority. The inclusion of dogs adds an endearing touch to this historical snapshot. These faithful companions were not merely pets but played crucial roles in assisting these brave policemen on their arduous missions across vast landscapes. As we delve into this photograph's details - from the stern expressions on each officer's face to the rugged backdrop of Yukon's wilderness - we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the challenges faced by those who sought fortune during one of Canada's most legendary gold rushes. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage while honoring those who dedicated themselves to upholding justice and maintaining peace within our nation's borders.
