Strange things done : murder in Yukon history

"Tales of gruesome murders - described in folktales such as those about Sergeant Preston and the Mad Trapper of Rat River and in poems such as Robert Service's The Shooting of Dan McGrew - are resonant aspects of the Yukon's popular lore. But do these stories truly reflect life - and death - in Canada's most renowned northern territory? In Strange Things Done historians Ken Coates and William Morrison reinvestigate legendary murders from Yukon history."--Jacket
