Alaska Stories: Tales from the Last Frontier

Book Overview

Alaska Stories is filled with an array of classic and recent voices--native Alaskans and newcomers, environmentalists and hunters, essayists and fiction writers. From the childhood view of the expansive frontier in Robert Coles's 'Distances' to the ever-contracting world that fatally injured explorer V. Swanson recorded in his journal. Alaska Stories takes readers to a land that occupies a distinctly mythic place in American history.
