North Trail Caravan

Once a small town of over eight hundred people, Jackman was plagued by rioting, looting, and fires post-War. So as the town descended into chaos a group of people led by US Army Lieutenant Karl Schmidt struck out to build a new town. The town was totally rebuilt from the ground, near a good source of water, and power.

Thus they built the first few shacks of their settlement at the mouth of the Moose River along the shore of Wood Pond. Before long, they had built another small collection of shacks and a well. The hamlet was on its way to becoming a true settlement.

Origins (2077-2087)[]

When the bombs fell and air horn sirens blared most people ran for their homes and into their basements. But, under the home of Karl Schmidt, he and nine of his men sat comfortably with their families in a large survivalist bunker which could sustain them for a decade. There, they remained for the next ten years living a life of security and comfort.

But, like all good things eventually it came to an end when their food stocks began to run low and scavenging parties would need to be sent to the surface to acquire more food. Thus the ten men drew straws and two men got sent up armed with Hunting Rifles, Gas Masks, and Kevlar Body armor. They returned and brought news that they hadn't been able to find any food.

Thus the bunker survivors packed up their things and left the bunker with the families riding in a van that Karl had managed to EMP proof. While the men rode on two Jeeps. They eventually arrived at the old Moose River Dams and decided it would be a good place to start a settlement thanks to the dam providing fresh water from the reservoir between the two dams and power to the settlement.

Expansion (2088-2092)[]

The town eventually expanded growing to about 120 people in size as more people from around the area heard news of the safe settlement and didn't want to be left to be attacked by the wildlife, raiders, or groups of ghouls who had found their way into the Jackman area over the 11 years since the war. However, around this time they began to grow outside the protected walls of the settlement and began slowly expanding the walls of the settlement while establishing the basics of organized society. Karl Schmidt is elected mayor with David Hobbs as his Sheriff and they both set up shop in Dawn Hall which becomes the primary government building. However, the
