What a cute, fanciful story from the very best Yukon gold rush poet, Robert Service. I enjoyed this story very much in its rather simplistic way. It is plausible and suspense builds to the very last. It's just fun.Product details

The Trail Of '98 A Northland Romance Robert William Service 9781276970556 Books Reviews
The Trail of Ninety-Eight A Northland Romance is a tale of adventure and love set in the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska. Written around the turn of the twentieth century, the story features a young Scotsman who has made his way to the US to find work with a relative. But he, instead, is lured by the gold being found in the frozen north. On the journey there, he meets a young woman, immediately falls in love with her, and spends the rest of the novel making and losing and making again a fortune while trying to win her love. The poet Robert W. Service wrote this novel, and that means everything. Not only is it a romance in the sense of a love story, but it is a romance in the sense it embodies the ideals of the Romantic poets. The beauty and glory of Alaska is lovingly evoked in Service’s flowery descriptions. And flowery it is! To enjoy this novel—and it does have a solidly entertaining adventure tale—one must put oneself in a particular frame of mind. This is not a straight-forwardly written tome; it evokes the old-time mellerdrammers where the villain will do anything to win his lady love, the hero must defend her virtue, and along the way, there is much sighing and back of the hand across the forehead. This is not to say the book is laughable. It is not. But it certainly is not like modern prose. It may very well have been extreme in its day, for the turn of the century writings I have read have never been quite so over the top. But I liked the book. It gave me a picture of Alaska, which is what I was looking for. I am soon to vacation there, and I wanted a bit of history mixed with melodrama. This book delivered.
What a cute, fanciful story from the very best Yukon gold rush poet, Robert Service. I enjoyed this story very much in its rather simplistic way. It is plausible and suspense builds to the very last. It's just fun.
