Songs Of A Sourdough (1908) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437041019)

Songs of a Sourdough is a collection of poems written by Robert William Service and first published in 1908. The poems are set in the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush and depict the harsh and isolated life of the prospectors who flocked to the region in search of riches. The collection includes some of Service's most famous works, such as ""The Shooting of Dan McGrew"" and ""The Cremation of Sam McGee."" The poems are characterized by their vivid descriptions of the natural world and the rugged characters who inhabit it, as well as their use of rhyme and meter. Songs of a Sourdough was a popular success upon its release and helped to establish Service as one of the most popular poets of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
