Customer Reviews

a hidden gem!

Not your usual Alaska bush story of catching fish and shooting caribou. An incredible (apparently true) tale of the foibles and adventures of the residents of a small village near Denali. Some chapters are comically funny and others reveal the dark side of human nature. Mostly though, I laughed out loud reading it and told stories from it to my friends. This short and sweet book is possibly the best introduction to life in Alaska's bush country one will find. Read it! You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic!!!

This book is for those who have been to Alaska and understand its unique qualities. I highly recommend this book to anyone that currently lives in Alaska or for anyone who loves a good story.
