    Jim Rearden

    Between 1915 and 1955 Frank Glaser trekked across wilderness Alaska on foot, by wolf-dog team, and eventually, by airplane. He was a market hunter, trapper, roadhouse owner, professional dog team musher, and federal predator agent. A naturalist at heart, he learned from observation the life secrets of moose, caribou, foxes, wolverines, mountain sheep, grizzly bears, and wolves—especially wolves.

Huntington is only seven when his mother dies, and he must care for his younger siblings. A courageous and inspiring man, Huntington hunts wolves, fights bears, survives close calls too numerous to mention, and becomes a championship sled-dog racer. One reviewer called it an “exciting and masterfully written acc...

    Dolly Faulkner

It was so close I could reach out and touch its shaggy bronze fur.” Dolly Faulkner has many heart-stopping moments in the Alaskan wilderness. But she is not lonely, as the awesome space and beauty of the mountains fill her with appreciation of all things of nature. Faulkner moved to Alaska as a young woman who dreamed of living in the wilderness. She recounts her adven...

    With five small plane loads of supplies, this white collar family sets out to create a home in Alaska’s Bush. As one pilot told them, “The bush is filled with junk from those that didn’t make it.” They build a shelter from the land’s raw materials before winter and experience glorious and harrowing adventures as they create and operate a wilderness camp and sport fishing business in the bush.

    Pamela Haskin

    A Deliberate Lifeis the inspiring and often humorous story of Pamela Haskin and her years in the Alaskan Bush. She says, “I’m not trying to escape society as so many do who come to the Bush. I’m choosing a lifestyle! I want a life with adventure and purpose.” She willingly traded civilization for wood heat, no running water or indoor plumbing, no electricity, and no phone. Her lesson is that life can be more than ordinary.
