Customer Reviews

Interesting Book by a "Character"

Bill Lewis was well known by all of us here in North Pole. He was quite a character - well liked, a perenially candidate for public office but never winning election, and quite a character also known for his magical handling of his famed lariat doing rope tricks. This book is chock full of stories about interesting, colorful characters (mostly affiliated with the union trades)that are just like Bill was - "Unique". The book gves a geat insight into some great people.

Some funny stories about North Pole, Alaska

Over forty vignettes and stories of people/characters who have lived in North Pole,(yes, there really is a town of North Pole, located 13 miles southeast of Fairbanks). Lots of local flavor about living in the land of the Midnight Sun where it can get minus 50 degrees during the winter. North Pole is not a cosmopolitan town by any means and this book will attest to that fact, with a bit of humor thrown in for good measure!
