Chronicles real adventures in a time and place that forms the backdrop to some of Canada's most enduring legends - the days when mail was hauled overland by sleigh, prospectors still sifted through the gravel of Bonanza Creek searching for gold, and trappers sometimes went missing for years. As young Tich Watson quickly discovered, law enforcement in the Yukon of the 1930s was often dramatic. Minutes after arriving at his Dawson City posting in 1932, the rookie R.C.M.P. constable was supervising the death watch of a popular local resident condemned to hang for murder. Based on journals Watson kept during his four-year R.C.M.P. posting in the North, this book is a tribute to the great Yukon spirit of adventure and community that still lingers on in our national psyche. An important addition to Canada's historical literature, 'Yukon Memories,' often more humorous than harrowing, is a spellbinding look at an extraordinary way of life."
