Written by the prolific Canadian author Madge Macbeth, this memoir captures the stark beauty and the unforgiving reality of the Yukon Territory.

The narrative delves into the social and physical landscapes of the North, providing readers with an authentic glimpse into the daily lives of prospectors, settlers, and adventurers.
