Reg.#2101, Thomas Dickson came to the Yukon in 1898 as a member of the North West Mounted Police (NWMP) . He was stationed at Tagish Lake.

In 1900, after about six year service, he left the NWMP and married Louise, a Tagish First Nation woman.

Louise's uncle, Skookum Jim Mason, employed Dickson as a bodyguard and especially to protect his gold. Dickson also ran a fish camp on Tagish Lake along with his thirteen children.

Dickson became renowned as one of the first big game guides in the Yukon. In 1916, he was the Game Warden of Kluane Lake and his homesteand was on Dickson Creek, which named for him. In 1949 he retired due to ill health. Thomas Dickson died in Whitehorse in 1952.
