Songs of a Sourdough (New Mermaids), Robert Service

Songs of a Sourdough is Robert Service at his best! This is nature poetry at its finest. Here, the “Bard of the Yukon” uses picture words that place the reader right in the Yukon of old. As you read you can see the stranger stagger in to the Malamute saloon and feel the fifty-below gush of air until he closes the door behind him.
