About this book

Hamlin Garland, known for the story collections Main Travelled Roads and Prairie Folks, turns here to an overland ride toward the northern gold fields, told in prose chapters with poems set among them. The contents trace the route stage by stage: outfitting, the stage road, camp at Quesnelle, a swim across the Nechaco, the crossings of the Bulkley, Hazelton, the Stikeen divide, Glenora, Wrangell, and at last Atlin Lake and its gold fields. The verses, among them The Cow-boy, The Whooping Crane and Siwash Graves, answer to horses, wolves, mountains and weather along the way. First published in 1899.

About the author

Hamlin Garland - BDeBooks
Hamlin Garland

A boyhood on farms in Wisconsin, Iowa and Dakota Territory gave Hamlin Garland the material he worked for fifty years. Born in 1860 near West Salem, Wisconsin, he left for Boston in 1884, read Henry George in the public library, and turned single-tax anger into fiction that refused to make prairie farming look picturesque.
