The Hobo Philosopher
I have had a long interest in Robert Service. This book has only served to wet my appetite. Robert was obviously quite a daring guy. I knew that he was more than a simple bank teller. But I think that I would rather be reading Mr. Service write about himself than get the story secondhand. I've got to get one of his autobiographies next.
