Tillicums of the Trail
Being Klondike Yarns Told to Canadian Soldiers Overseas by a Sourdough Padre
Produced by Al Haines
"Tillicums of the Trail" by George Charles Fraser Pringle is a collection of personal anecdotes and stories set against the backdrop of the Klondike Gold Rush, written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the experiences of Pringle, a chaplain who served Canadian soldiers during World War I and shared tales of his adventures in the Yukon with them to combat homesickness. Through these evocative tales, the book transports readers to a time of exploration, adventure, and the rugged life in the North. The opening of the book introduces the circumstances that led Pringle to share his Yukon stories with soldiers in France during World War I. As a chaplain with fond memories of the Klondike, he recounts the excitement and challenges of his first journey to the North in 1899, vividly describing the crowded boat to Skagway and the allure of the gold fields. He sets the stage for thrilling anecdotes involving dog teams and the harsh yet beautiful landscape of the Yukon, outlining the camaraderie among those who sought fortune in the wilderness. The narrative takes readers on a journey filled with both humor and hardship, establishing a connection between the past and present experiences of the soldiers listening to his tales.
