Adventure in Alaska
Author: Emory Lindgren
Publisher: iUniverse

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
A newlywed couple arriving in Northern Alaska in 1942 might have perished in a blinding blizzard during their first dog team trip but for the sixth sense of their Eskimo musher. Other harrowing experiences included landing in a small plane that had lost one wheel in flight, a close encounter with death in a savage storm on the Bering Sea, and being caught aloft in a bush plane during a perilous white out snowstorm. But mostly, Adventure in Alaska is about a decade of hands-on service among the Eskimos in three villages in the land of long summer days and long winter nights - memories of heartache, joy, pathos, humor, friendships, and great rewards.

Book Description
Alaska It’s been five years since I left home. Five years of living alone, until my twin sister convinces me to move in with her. I know she’s worried like the rest of my family, but I’m in a much better place now. On move in day, she surprises me with a family cruise that leads me to run into a hot guy at the airport. I can’t seem to escape him when he appears on the cruise too. I told myself I’d never get involved with another guy after what happened in high school, but Drew is different. Something about him calms me, yet unnerves me, and when he gets notes telling him to stay away from me, I know I’m doomed. I can’t stay away from him. Drew Since my parents passed away, I've been throwing myself into my job. My best friend thinks it's time for me to take a vacation and he has the perfect thing in mind, a cruise to Alaska. I never expected to meet Alaska on my way there. She thinks we’re just meeting for the first time, but that’s far from the truth. And when I see her across the hall from my room, I know it’s my chance to tell her everything, until I get notes telling me to leave her alone. Now I know, that’s the last thing I need to do. Perfect for fans of Devney Perry, Catherine Cowles, and Samantha Young Romantic suspense, mystery romance, contemporary romance, stalker, steamy romance, protector, rescue, revenge

The Alaskan Retreater's Notebook
Author: Ray Ordorica
Publisher: Skyhorse
ISBN: 151070082X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
In the fall of 1978 Ray Ordorica packed everything he thought he would need into his Toyota LandCruiser and drove north to Alaska. He came to a land he had never seen, to find something he wasn't even sure existed: a wilderness cabin he could use for a year or more to live, think, relax, read, and write. Ordorica found his cabin, fixed it up, and, although it was just an un-insulated 12- by 16-foot one-room log structure, he spent three winters in it in relative comfort. Ordorica’s life in that cabin fulfilled a dream he had had for more than ten years. During his long winters in Alaska, it occurred to him that there must be many others who have put off an extended wilderness visit to out of ignorance or fear. They have as many questions about Alaska as he had before he arrived: How do you cope with 40 below? How do you get water? Is it totally dark in mid-winter? These questions and many more gave Ordorica the idea to write the Alaskan Retreater’s Notebook, an epic memoir about one man’s journey into the Alaskan wilderness. With his wisdom, you will learn how to live with the country, and not against it.
