Oops! Sorry, Adam, I've never been an expansionist (except maybe my belt), American or otherwise.
I was operating from recollective hypothesis, not even memory. In fact my Cambridge Biographical Dictionary
tells me Service was an "English-born, Canadian Poet" (born in Preston). MY apologies all around. Yukon it
is. Maybe "galoot" was what Canadian North Americans called United States North Americans?
