SAM HOLLOWAY

Before he became a working electrician, Sam Holloway was the writer, publisher and editor of The Yukoner Magazine. Sam’s company description was “Welcome to the history of the Yukon, as told by the people who have lived it”. Sam has also published booklets including The Bushman: A Saga of the Yukon (1992), Collected Stories Volume 1 (1998) and To Seek for Eldorado: How to Hunt for Gold in the Yukon (2000).

Many of these stories first appeared in serialized versions in the Yukon News, Whitehorse Star, and The Yukoner Magazine. Sam’s stories and his magazine showcased the lives of ordinary and extraordinary northerners and is an amazing tribute to the Yukon spirit and lifestyle.
