Summary

Assigned by his employers at the Canadian Bank of Commerce to the Yukon Territory in 1904, Robert Service became renowned as the poet who chronicled the Klondike gold rush. Service's memorable tales in verse relate the adventures of One-Eyed Mike, Blasphemous Bill, Dangerous Dan McGrew, and other colorful characters.

Author Biography

Known as the "Canadian Kipling," Robert Service (1877-1958) is also frequently compared to Jack London because of their shared admiration for the Yukon wilderness. Service's poetry — including "The Shooting of Dan McGrew" and "The Cremation of Sam McGee" — achieved immediate and lasting worldwide fame.
