'Spell of the Yukon' Summary
The Spell of the Yukon is a collection of poems that capture the spirit of the Klondike Gold Rush. The poems are full of vivid imagery and adventure, and they celebrate the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

The poems in The Spell of the Yukon are divided into three sections: "The Spell of the Yukon," "The Lure of Gold," and "The Heart of the North." The first section introduces the reader to the Yukon and its people. The second section tells the stories of the gold rush and the men who were drawn to it. The third section reflects on the legacy of the gold rush and the impact it had on the Yukon and its people. The Spell of the Yukon is a classic work of literature that captures the spirit of a time and place. Service's poems are full of adventure, humor, and pathos, and they offer a unique glimpse into the human experience.Book Details
