Talk:The Cremation of Sam McGee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Add pictures! --(some anonymous individual)

This page states that the poem is based on the discovery and cremation of a corpse by the roommate of the poet, but one of the links at the foot of the page is to a report in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (apparently legitimate as far as I can tell at a glance) which would appear to contradict that; as far as I can see, the contents of the report are not mentioned in any way in the article itself. How does one go about investigating the validity of such conflicting sources?

For what it is worth, there is a PDF version of the same report, hosted on the CMAJ's own Website:
