A nice read by it's author but wouldn't it have been great if Boris Karloff, the narrator of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", recorded this one?

Sam McGee is my absolute favorite! Thank goodness someone had the forethought to save his voice. Thanks for posting this.

This poem was recited by my friend at the opening campfire every week at the Boy Scout camp I worked at over the summer. I can't think of a more perfect campfire story. It's always amazing to hear the poet recite their own work; to hear the poem as they intended it be read.

@melcina - I grew up with my dad reading Robert Service to me and always loved it, also. Although my dad's been gone for about 8 years I still feel such a connection, to him listening to this masterwork, in Service's own voice. My dad would have absolutely LOVED this.

If you will go to the Robert Service homepage, you will find this and some other pieces he recorded.

Yes, this is an actual recording recited by Robert Service himself. The record was first introded at the Robert Service Exhibit at the Alaska'67 Centenial Exposition at Fairbanks Alaska. Will try to post more recordings, which include Surtax, Toilet Seats, Distracted Druggist, The Three Bares. etc.
