About this product

Product Information

To many Americans in the "Lower 48," Alaska seems almost a foreign country, and John McPhee's evocations of its people and its landscapes in no way alters that impression. McPhee gives us, as only he can, a vivid picture of the state's varied variegation and a feeling for its special identity.

  • a great read on wild Alaska and it's people

    This is the day to day travails of the modern day pioneers who live here. You can skip the middle chapter dealing with statehood. The rest is riveting in its own way.
