Booze - When Whisky
Ruled the West |
Booze - When Whisky Ruled the
West 8.5x5.5" (21.5x14cm) soft cover 271 pages From Winnipeg to the Rockies,
whisky kept the prairies in a ferment for fifty years. Taking advantage
of the enormous influx of immigrants during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth century, hotels sprang up in the towns and cities to cater to
the prodigious thirst of their patrons. The unrestricted boozing resulted
in drunkenness, brawling, petty crime, and the disappearance of many a
paycheque. It also resulted in a vigorous and ultimately successful campaign
for total prohibition, and from approximately 1916 to 1924 the three Prairie
provinces were legally dry. |

Robert Service started out as a bank teller, but that changed dramatically
in 1904 when his bank transferred him to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
Like everybody else, Service was smitten by the gold fever of the great
Klondike gold rush. Only Service mined words, not gold, and within five
years was famous as the poet who had captured the essence of the fever,
the adventure, the men, and the women.
