Description



About the Book



The wild diversity of Alaksa starkly comes out as on reads about the 36 ports served by the Alaska Marine Highway from fishing ports to top secret Soviet bases on American soil



Book Synopsis



A history of Alaska's seaports settled by fisherman, gold seekers, Scandinavians, Native peoples and Russin trappers. It is a time a violent history as these diverse people carved their own isolated world from forests, cliff faces and raging seas. This is a tale of wild men and intrepid women looking for a home from the world they rejected.

It is the story of empire builders like Russian Alexander Baranov, folk heroes like Wyatt Earp and Jack London, outlaws, ladies of the evening, saints and two-fisted American sailors like Hell Roaring Mike Healy and railroader Bim Mike Henry, all overcoming tragedy and triumphing over man and nature.
