the Blue Parka Man: Alaskan Gold Rush Bandit

This was one of the first Alaskan books I read when I came to the interior of Alaska in 1982. The author kept me spell bound with the history and personalities of the Gold Rush in the circle mining district. Besides the lore of gold this book is about a true life dog sled chase over mountain summits in the dead of winter for a character which could be described as a gentleman, a gold rush Robin Hood. I wanted so much to share this adventure with others but my copy was stolen and the book has been out of print. This is a cat and mouse story with lots of action and could be made into a wonderful movie. I so much wish to read it again and pass it along to all who venture to Alaska and the interior.
