	RCMP-History-Mod3
		In 1929, a patrol led by Inspector A. Joy battled blizzards, walls of sea ice, and hungry bears, to travel from Devon Island through the Parry Islands and northeast to the Bache Peninsula, a distance of 1,700 miles.
		Accordingly, by 1926, RCMP detachments had been erected on the east coast of Baffin Island, on Devon Island, and at Bache Peninsula on Ellesmere Island, about 650 miles from the North Pole.
		Of greater significance, a Norwegian expedition of 1898-1902 claimed several islands west of Ellesmere by right of discovery, and attempted to persuade the governments of Norway and Sweden to declare their sovereignty over them.

	DCQ Winter Solstice 2001 - The Coast Pilot
		In 1845 Davidson was selected as a clerk to Bache, and relocated to Washington, D. C.; in 1846 he was appointed as an aid to Robert Fauntleroy in a field survey in the Gulf of Mexico.
		The legend along the coast in the center is Costa de sierras dobladas de mucha arboleda, which I translate as: "Coast of rugged and much wooded mountains." To the upper right is the Monterey Peninsula, and the legend in the bay is Puerto de Monterrey, "Port of Monterrey" (in its original spelling).
		Davidson survived the great earthquake and subsequent fire of 1906, but this event lead him back into public life, for he served as the first president of the Pacific Seismological Society, which was founded in August of that year.

	A Case of Compounded Error
		Plans for a third settlement at the Alexandra Fiord RCMP post in the Bache Peninsula area were delayed due to ice conditions, and later cancelled.
		The Resolute Bay reports and related correspondence reveal an inflexible list of "do note", related to fraternizing, offering gifts or handouts, allowing the Inuit to loiter, giving them "white man's" food, allowing off-season hunting, assisting them in building their homes, or permitting the Inuit near the garbage dump.
		At Resolute Bay, there were still "joint" Canadian-U.S. weather and radio stations, although the RCAF had taken over operation of the airfield in 1951.

	Bache Peninsula Archaeological Sites
		Bache Peninsula archaeological sites were occupied about 4200 years ago by hunting bands believed to have originated from northeast Asia and Alaska.

		Artifacts include small, finely made stone tools of the Arctic Small Tool tradition and artistic carvings from the late DORSET period.

	Chester Golf Club Curzon Park
		When K.T. Browning described the Chester (Curzon Park) Golf Course in the 1952 handbook, he stressed its unique situation on the peninsula of land in the bend of the River Dee with attractive views of the Welsh hills to the west, and of the Roodee and the ancient city over the river to the east.
		This was the situation in the winter of 1912-13 when the golf club had to move from the Bache and find a new home.
		This was significant because in 1756, Esther Hanmer married Assheton Curzon who in 1802 became the first Viscount Curzon of Penn - as well as M.P. for Clitheroe.
