Dressed in cowboy garb acquired in a Scottish auction room, a naïve but committed young Robert Service stepped off the CPR train in Vancouver, sustained only by his sense of adventure. Sixteen years later, he would leave the North as the author of the most commercially successful poems written in the 20th century. Service's time in the Yukon, at first as a transplanted bank clerk and later living off the royalties of poems like 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew' and 'The Cremation of Sam McGee', is the core of a fascinating life. Starving in Mexico, residing in a California bordello, farming on Vancouver Island and pursuing unrequited love in Vancouver were only preludes to his Yukon years and his first poems. Words were Robert Service's lifelong passion, and he set them on many stages. But it was his McGrew, McGee and other players of the Great White North who glittered with a golden glow and forever made him the 'Bard of the Yukon' and the de facto poet laureate of Alaska. Robert Service sheds light on aspects of Service's life that have been sketchily covered by other biographers, focusing on his years in the western US and Canada. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of 'Songs of a Sourdough', which sold over three million copies and was the most successful poetry book of the 20th century.
