Summary: "Songs of a Sourdough" by Robert W. Service is a collection of poetry written during the early 20th century. The poems explore the rugged lives of gold seekers and adventurers in the Yukon, capturing the stark beauty of the landscape as well as the challenges faced by those drawn to its call. The book offers a vivid portrayal of life in the wilderness, highlighting themes of resilience, longing, and the relentless pursuit of dreams amidst a harsh and unforgiving environment.
