To the Man of the High North

by Robert W. Service

A collection of poems by Robert W. Service, "To the Man of the High North" captures the spirit of the Yukon gold rush and the rugged beauty of the Canadian wilderness. Service's vivid imagery and rhythmic language paint a vivid picture of life in the North, with all its hardships and rewards. From the excitement of the gold fields to the solitude of the frozen tundra, Service's poems explore the human experience in this unforgiving landscape.
