Publisher's Synopsis
Containing hundreds of field sketches, studio drawings, and photographs, this book is a tribute to the people and wildlife of Alaska's backcountry. Here is a rare glimpse into the history of the original Alaskan pioneers, who spent their days prospecting, fighting off grizzlies, and exploring the rugged countryside. Also featured is a close look at the nature and fauna of Alaska, from moose grazing in mountain meadows to caribou locked in battle to bears fishing in salmon-rich streams.
