After being transferred to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, Service was smitten by the gold fever of the great Klondike gold rush. Only Service mined words, not gold, and within five years was famous as the poet who had captured the essence of the fever, the adventure, the men, and the women. The magic of the words is beautifully captured by award-winning artist Mariken Van Nimwegen.
