  • Gets into the guts of how Alaska developed.

    Very long book with many details and historical facts that you will not find elsewhere. A family member read this a long time ago and has reread the book again after visiting Alaska. Loved it more the second time around.

  • Great book !

    Bought it for a gift for a person who once had this book. It had gotten misplaced/ lost between loaning it out and moving around. He wanted to read it again, so I decided to just buy him another book.

  • Living the story

    After spending more than a half century here it is great to visualize how it all began. Michener put it together in a way that is fitting for Alaska.
