Pelly River
Rises in the Pelly Mountains about lat. 62 deg., and flows
into the Yukon after a course of 330 miles. Discovered and explored by
Robert Campbell between the years 1840-1848. Campbell reached the upper
waters of the Pelly, by way of the Liard, in 1840; built Fort Pelly
Banks, 1842; and descended the river to the junction of the Pelly and
Lewes in 1843. He built Fort Selkirk at the forks in 1848. The river was
named after Sir H. Pelly, the governor of the Hudson's Bay Company.
