Often called “the Bard of the Yukon,”
was profoundly influenced by the rugged
landscapes and the adventurous spirit of
Dawson City and the Yukon, which vividly
informed his poetry. His works, such as
“The Shooting of Dan McGrew” and “The
Cremation of Sam McGee,” capture the
essence of the Klondike Gold Rush era.
In 1942, thousands of U.S. Army personnel arrived to build the Alaska Highway.
In a record-breaking eight months and 23 days, 1,534 miles of highway were
laid down. The boom ceased by the end of the war, but Whitehorse had
become an important centre of communications and transportation.
