The winter of 1926/27 was a very harsh one & in the summer of /26 three Englishmen hiked into a remote area of the NWT's and built a crude log cabin.Unable to carry a full supply of food they were counting on local game to survive.The weather caused an unusual scarcity of game and the caribou which normally migrated through their area changed their route that year.One by one they succumbed to starvation and perished!
