His famous ballads of the Klondike are here: The Shooting of Dan McGrew; The Spell of the Yukon; and The Creamation of Sam McGee. Also included are unforgettable portrayals of the artists, grisettes, and models of the merry, tragic life of bohemian Paris, and other verses inspired by the First World War, during which Service drove an ambulance in France. Gaiety, humor, nostalgia, and pathos fill every page, along with the genuine Service ring of virility which has made his verse loved throughout the English reading world." Check out the scans. .
