Until I get around to writing the article and pointing to it with a disambiguation here on Robert Campbell (Frontiersman), I'll mention Robert Campbell (1808-94), a Hudson's Bay Company fur trader. He pioneered one of the HBC's routes from the Mackenzie to the (now) Yukon in the 1840s, establishing in 1848 Fort Selkirk on the Yukon at the mouth of the Pelly.

See existing stub Robert Campbell (fur trader). I bet this is your guy. There is a lengthy disambig page on Robert Campbells as it is a common name. WBardwin (talk) 03:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Date of Death

edit

Thank you for your recent edits, 24.211.184.246 -- but a document/source would be helpful for a change of date of death. The original article, and at least one listed source, show October 10, 1879 as date of death. Do you have a published photocopy of a death certificate or a picture of a tombstone in your family archives? Just me! (talk) 03:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

24.211.184.246 added an external link to the Robert Campbell home. The site's info confirms the date of death provided by the two original sources referenced above. "He (Robert) died at home on October 10, 1879." Consequently, the date of death has been restored to reflect the 10th. WBardwin (talk) 05:32, 10 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
