    Who wrote the epic 'The Cremation of Tom Goad'?

    Question #19342. Asked by Vick.

    Son of The Household Cavalry

    The closest I can find to the title in the question is Bruce Springsteen's 'The Ghost of Tom Goad'

    "The Cremation of Sam McGee" is among the most famous of Robert W. Service's poems. It was published in 1907 in The Songs of a Sourdough (The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses). It concerns the cremation of a prospector who freezes to death in the Yukon Territory of Canada, as told by the man who cremates him.

    "...The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
    But the queerest they ever did see
    Was the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
    I cremated Sam McGee."
