Finally, there is the famous folklore about the lost treasure of the Dawson Trail which I would like to share with the members. According to the storytellers, somewhere east of Winnipeg along the Dawson Trail there is supposed to be a treasure of gold. The tale says that the soldier was carrying $10,000 of gold to pay the troops with the Wolseley expedition. According to the story the soldier was chased by the local First Nations people along a portion of the trail where he dumped the pouch containing the gold. Little more is known except that the story surfaces from time to time and the mystery of the Dawson gold remains, but the question remains, is there a treasure hidden along the Dawson? Most people think there is, if not in gold pieces, then in the legacy of the Dawson Trail.
