Boston: Little, Brown & Co, 1954. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Early, unstated printing with original published date of 1954. Cloth. 269pp. Illustrated with vintage photos, including of the author. Truly a Canadian classic, the memoir of the mother of famous Canadian historian and personality, Pierre Berton. Very slight slant to binding, but still fine in vg+ pc dj. We love the dust jacket art of Paul Galdone. which shows Berton in a long red dress and hat, with yellow cloak, standing with purse and handbag in hand with other luggage on a pier on the Yukon River at Dawson City, with a retreating steamboat. Very scarce in this early printing.

A true story of love and adventure, which traces the history of Dawson City through the eyes of a young schoolteacher and the penniless miner she married.
