	Cat Fanciers' Association: Breed Profile: Selkirk Rex
		The Selkirk Rex is being developed as a large, heavy boned cat rather like the British Shorthair in conformation.
		Selkirk Rex owners are consistently stopped by people with anxious hands wanting to pet and feel this soft, plush pet.
		The DM title is achieved by the dam (mother) having produced five CFA grand champion/premier (alter) or DM offspring, or sire (father) having produced fifteen CFA grand champion/premier or DM offspring.

	Selkirk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Burgh of Selkirk is a town in the Scottish Borders.
		Selkirk's ancient past is one which encompasses many aspects of Scottish history, from being the site of the first Border abbey to where William Wallace, was declared Guardian of Scotland.
		Selkirk's past also includes the legendary Sir Walter Scott, and this is one connection that the town has put to great use.

	Tourism & Culture - Cultural Services - Heritage Resources Unit
		The first Selkirk people left no written records, no stone monuments, but aspects of their history may still be found in remains of their ancient camps preserved in the ground, and in the oral traditions of today.
		Selkirk Elders identified the island on the north side of Three Way Channel as a traditional king salmon fishing camp and one of their most important fish trap locations.
		During this period, Selkirk people were employed on the sternwheelers and at the woodcamps, but also continued to make their living in the traditional way, trapping, hunting and fishing.

	Selkirk Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Selkirk is an attractive town extending from the hilltop location of its Market Place and High Street down steep slopes to the impressive old woollen mills and more modern industrial estates along the valley of the Ettrick Water.
		The road still passes through the centre of the town, but the greater effort involved in navigating Hawick, a few miles to the south, and Galashiels, a few miles to the north, mean that despite its obvious attractions Selkirk leaves less of an impression on the motorist.
		The textile industry sustained Selkirk for over a century before going into decline: and the signs of it can be seen in the fine stone mill buildings that have found or are still looking for alternative uses.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		In June 1811 agreements were signed by Selkirk and the HBC under which, in return for founding an agricultural settlement and some other considerations, he was to have some 116,000 square miles — an area five times the size of Scotland and much of it magnificent land — for 10 shillings.
		In the end it may have harmed Selkirk more than the NWC since it revealed little that had not been well known, and officially overlooked, for a long time; but it did suggest a more active concern with the fur trade than was consistent with Selkirk’s professed aims as a disinterested colonizer.
		Selkirk, roused to passionate anger, led his force straight to Fort William, risking a pitched battle, and in mid August arrested nine of the NWC partners after a preliminary hearing.

	Brandon and Selkirk Generating Station (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Selkirk’s water systems include the water treatment plant that produces process water for the steam cycle; the cooling water system used to condense the steam exiting the steam turbine; and service water systems for cooling auxiliary equipment.
		The intermittent operation of the Selkirk G.S. causes the frequency, nature, and magnitude of effects on the local aquatic ecosystem to be a function of the timing of operation, the amount and duration of generation, and the discharge present in the Red River and Cooks Creek at the time of generation.
		Selkirk Generating Station stands close to the Red River on the east side of the Town of Selkirk, which is named after Lord Selkirk, the man who in the year 1812 brought Scottish settlers to the Point Douglas area close to Winnipeg.

	Cat Fanciers: Selkirk Rex: Cat Breed FAQ
		The basis for the Selkirk Rex breed is a mutation that causes a curly coat.
		Selkirks come in a rainbow of colors, including the "pointed" colors, as the original cat was carrying the pointed gene.
		The Selkirk Rex is being selectively bred to a completely different look, much closer to that of the British Shorthair, but distinct from that cat as well, especially in the length of the legs.

	Cats and Kittens Magazine Selkirk Rex Breed Profile
		When Jeri Newman of Livingston, Montana, introduced the Selkirk rex to the world in the late 1980s, she explained that breed was the namesake of a mountain range in Wyoming, close to the town where the matriarch of these curly-haired cats had been born.
		The Selkirk's renown as the first cat breed named after a mountain range was short lived, however, because some stickler for detail pointed out that the Selkirk range extends from northern Idaho into southeastern British Columbia.
		The Selkirk rex, the third rex cat to appear on the North American show bench, is markedly different from the two rex breeds that preceded it - the Cornish rex and the Devon rex.

	The Real Robinson Crusoe
		Selkirk, a skilled navigator, and the ship’s sickened crew were privateers—in effect, legalized pirates for the British Crown—who had spent a year at sea off South America robbing Spanish ships and coastal villages.
		Selkirk demanded that his 21-year-old captain, Lt. Thomas Stradling, whom he regarded as arrogant, leave him on the largest island, a wish that Stradling was only too happy to oblige.
		In any case, Selkirk was left ashore, but when he realized that none of the crew was joining him in the mutiny, he frantically waded back into the ocean and begged forgiveness from Stradling, a tyrant who delighted in saying no.

	Alexander Selkirk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander Selkirk, born Alexander Selcraig, (1676–13 December 1721) was a Scottish sailor who spent four years as a castaway on an uninhabited island; it is probable that his travails provided the inspiration for Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
		Selkirk initially stayed on the beach, because he was afraid of sea creatures and was very paranoid about most aspects in his life.
		Selkirk was discovered on the island by the Duke's Captain, Woodes Rogers, who called him the Governor of the island.
