Nice concise history

I bought this book because we are traveling to Alaska in two weeks. It provides a very easy read to absorb some of Alaskas history.

This is the author, and I recently reread this book and made a few updates. I love occasionally revisiting my books and incorporating new research. It's like a stroll with an old friend. Alaska is a wondrous place filled with amazing places and stories. I am grateful to share those adventures with my amazing wife, Laura Sable, and to have co-written this book with her. It is a place for us and for many that is filled with amazement and delight. Enjoy!
