JOANN ROBERTSON'S GRANDFATHER MOVED TO THE YUKON in 1897 to make his fortune. He did not succeed at that, but he did fall in love with the North. From memories of her Yukon youth to family letters, photographs, news clippings and more, Joann brings to life the experiences of her family and others during this little-known period of Yukon history. This narrative-at one point describing the dismantling of a Model T Ford to smuggle it by canoe across a river in the dead of night-echoes her love of this unique society.
