Songs of a Sourdough (1908) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169127456)

Songs of a Sourdough is a poetry collection written by Robert W. Service and first published in 1908. The poems in this book are inspired by Service's experiences living in the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The collection includes some of Service's most famous poems, such as ""The Shooting of Dan McGrew"" and ""The Cremation of Sam McGee"". The poems are written in a simple, accessible style and often feature vivid descriptions of the natural beauty and harsh conditions of the Yukon. Service's poems also explore themes of loneliness, love, and the struggle for survival in a harsh and unforgiving environment. Overall, Songs of a Sourdough is a classic work of Canadian literature and a testament to the enduring appeal of Service's poetry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
