Land of the Midnight Sun : A History of the Yukon

$17.00 CAD

pp. 336, black and white photographs throughout. Book in vg condition, binding clean and tight. “To people around the world, the word Yukon carries a certain magic. It evokes images of dance-hall girs and prospectors, the steep Chilkoot Pass and rushing rivers, Dan McGrew and Sam McGee. Robert Service’s poetry seems to have defined the Yukon and trapped it in an era for all time. But the Yukon is more – much more. Its history is colourful and varied and encompasses far more than the days of the Klondike. This book brings that neglected history to life for the reader as no other has ever done.”
