An insightful text of a man and his Alaskan wilderness dream

Al Brookman Sr. does an excellent job of recalling his past in vivid detail. Each reader will experience his eccentric lifestyle as a commercial fisherman in Alaska along with his many seasonal jobs in the Alaskan wilderness. Readers who enjoy true-life adventure stories will delight in Brookman's hunting adventures, "great fish" stories and WWII recollections. If you have ever spoken to an elderly person about their life and times, and enjoyed the conversation, this book is for you. Though Brookman may repeat stories is irrelevant, each recount is as enjoyable as the first. A short, easy to understand and charming text you could read with a grandparent or grandchild and enjoy twice as much.
