"A Harvest original."
A compilation of writings, many of them first-person accounts, about impressions of Alaska, arranged geographically. The Alaskan frontier is revealed at its most inspiring and unforgiving, through the eyes of its awe-struck visitors. An enraptured John Muir first glimpses Glacier Bay; Jon Krakauer marvels at the sight of a grizzly's footprints in the snow; Erma Bombeck comments on the "cruise from hell; " and more.
