The Author: Biographical Note 281. v FORWARD It was my privilege, in 1991, to pen the foreword to the two-volume set of the Tile Yukon's Constih,tional Foundations. I said of the set "There is little doubt that it will stand as an essential reference source for anyone with an interest in the Yukon's constitution al past, present, or future." And it has. A wide variety of people from both inside and outside the Yukon, including scholars, politicians, students, history buffs and reporters, have sought and found the information they were looking for in this work. Steven Smyth has now done us the additional service of updating and revising his Yukon CllronologJJ which was first published as Volume 1 of TlIJ! Yukon's Constitutional Foundations. The corrections and additions to the original chronology are, of course, encouraged and appreciated. The greatest commendation, however, is reserved for the effort to extend its coverage from December of 1990 to June of 1999.
