An excellent collection of short stories based around Alaska historical events, as well as a vast assortment of subjects all related to Alaska beginning 1741 thru 2004. I loved the variety and writing style.

Short stories about things that happened in Alaska since the Russians first got there. I've heard some of the stories but many of them I didn't know about.

Another great tabletop book, great for a good Birds Eye view of the history of Alaska to start exploring topics in depths.

This was a fun book. The chapters are written like short stories so each story is only a couple pages long. And there is some really good reading. Who knew about some of the colorful characters in AK history!
