The Spell of the Yukon . . .


It was Jack London who got me started. I was just a kid when I read "The Call of the Wild" and it sparked in me, an interest in the Yukon Territory and the period of the Gold Rush 0f 1898. Later when I read the poems of Robert Service that interest became magnified as I fell under his spell, and to this day I still am thrilled to read those poetic descriptions of an intriguing period, and a glorious land.Posted by Hello

  1. Arture I really like the blog. You have done a great job. I believe a few of my friend have even visited, and they like it as well. It is hard for me to like the posts about the Cubs since I am a Cardinals fan and live in St. Louis, but I will cut you some slack.
    Keep visiting my site and feel free to comment. I will continue to visit yours as well.
    Take care.
