A delightful collection of poetic tales of northern gold rush living that offers incredible insights into the lives and outlooks of the men and women of the region, these poems will appeal to any lovers of poetry, and constitute a veritable must-read for fans of Service’s work. The poems include: “To The Man of the High North”, “Men of the High North”, “The Ballad of the Northern Lights”, “The Ballad of the Black Fox Skin”, “The Ballad of Pious Pete”, “The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill”, and many others.
