Come on Smitty --- Dawson is more famous than either of those -- by virtue of Robert Service.
Just a sort of next door neighbor to us -- just a long ferry ride and a longish drive.

Would you be thinking of "Twas Christmas Day we were mushing our way o'er the Dawson Trail....
I memorized that as a kid and still remember most of it...The Cremation of Sam McGee -- his other best known work is "The Shooting of Dan McGrew"
Bet you thought I'd never heard of him.....

I expect most old timers have heard of Robert Service.
Look up the YouTube reading of The Cremeation of Sam McGee by J. Cash some time. His voice makes it work especially well.

Mile 0 of the Alaskan highway. I've been through many times. I'm a little too far south presently.
Are you incineratin' that I'm an "old timer"? I resemble that.
I've heard Johnny Cash read it.
My favorite person to resite it was the scoutmaster when I was 11 or 12 years old. We would beg him to recite it whenever we were doing an activity that had us around a campfire after dark.
