“Of the Canadian disciples of Kipling, by far the best is R. W. Service. His ‘Songs of a Sourdough’ have run through many editions. Much of his verse has a touch of real originality, conveying as it does a just impression of the something evil and askew in the strange, uncouth wilderness of the High North.”
The Times.
“Mr. Service has got nearer to the heart of the old-time place miner than any other verse-maker in all the length and height of the Dominion.... He certainly sees the Northern Wilderness through the eyes of the man into whose soul it is entered.”
