Question

What details in the poem provide evidence that it is set during the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada and Alaska? Cite at least three specific examples from the text.

Answer 1

Three details from the poem that serve as evidence that it is set during the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada are:

- "the land of gold"

- "we were mushing our way over the Dawson trail"

- "Till I came to the marge of Lake Lebarge"

• The poem "The Cremation of Sam McGee" does not mention the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada directly.

• However, there are may moments in the poem where the speaker reveals details that show the poem is set during the Gold Rush.

• The speaker talks of a "land of gold" to refer to the Yukon region in Canada, where gold was discovered in 1896.

• He mentions the Dawson trail and Lake Lebarge, which are both in Canada. The lake, more specifically, is located in the Yukon region.
