Challenge of the Yukon

Hosted ByAndrew Rhynes

The program was an adventure series about Sergeant William Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police and his lead sled dog, Yukon King, as they fought evildoers in the Northern wilderness during the Gold Rush of the 1890s. Preston, according to radio historian Jim Harmon, first joined the Mounties to capture his father’s killer, and when he was successful, he was promoted to Sergeant. Preston worked under the command of Inspector Conrad, and in the early years was often assisted by a French-Canadian guide named Pierre.

    I thought the villain’s voice sounded like Clayton Moore but couldn’t locate a cast list. There was no credit that I could find for Moore doing this show.

    I will re-listen to this episode and see. having a cast list is hard since they only credit the announcer not all the actors. I am not sure but they may have wanted kids to believe that the people on the radio where real.
