Rabbit's Foot Canyon and Ole Dickson
Now that the road through Rabbit's Foot Canyon is entering the 21st Century via the "Road Weather Information System" (thanks to the Yukon Party government!!)... let's take another look at its past.
Its name, "Rabbit's Foot" is the name of a copper claim. Two people staked that claim: John Pattent Whitney and Ole Dickson, both of Whitehorse. Such claims comprised some 42.34 acres.
And... here is a 1903 photo of Ole Dickson, in the doorway of the old Takhini Roadhouse. The photo shows a sleighing party, including William, Anna and Deyo Puckett, the ladies' bowling team, Mrs. Wilde, and Mary Helm's parents. The Yukon Archives holds the original, as part of the Mary Helm Collection (89/25#1).
