Excerpt from Smiles and Tears From the Klondyke: A Collection of Stories and Sketches With Eight Illustrations From a collection of stories told in the far away Klondyke by Klondykers I have culled these now presented to the reader. With the exception of that entitled "Was It a Dream?" which appeared originally in a local Dawson paper, they are printed now for the first time and will, I trust, prove of more than ordinary interest to the reader. Of the authors of several of the tales a few words will not be out of place, and I take this opportunity of thanking them all most heartily for their respective contributions. The Honorable William Ogilvie, Commissioner of the (Yukon Territory, was born at Ottawa in 1846. He passed his examination as surveyor in 1869, and for thirty years has worked for his Government literally by night and day - for of the one hundred and twenty thousand miles he has travelled, many thousands have been accomplished under the star-lit heavens and the Northern Lights.
