'Father of the Yukon' celebrated with a plaque in Dawson City

Leroy Napoleon 'Jack' McQuesten ((1836-1909) is memorialized in a number of ways in the Yukon, not the least of which is having a type of Canadian whiskey, Yukon Jack, named in his honour. There's also the McQuesten River and the McQuesten Mineral Belt.
