Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Northern Narratives series #5 drops anchor in Southeast Alaska's rainiest, fishiest, and foggiest frontier town with its latest volume: Tall Tales of Alaska Ketchikan AK: A City Built on Salmon, Timber, & Totem Poles Waiting for you at the doorway to the Inside Passage, Ketchikan is more than just a stop on the "milk run." It's Alaska's first city-first to greet you, first to drench you, and first to prove that truth is often stranger than fiction. If you think you've seen everything Alaska has to offer, wait until the fog lifts in Ketchikan. And within these pages, you'll wade through a town built on pilings, perched above tides, and forever shaped by salmon. You'll explore how the timber wars divided communities, why a fish pirate might have been the most respected criminal on the docks, and what really goes on along Married Man's Trail. From floating logging camps to phantom submarines, Ketchikan has always harbored a story or two-some foggier than others. Trust me, every boardwalk and back alley has a version of events, and none of the quite match up. Grubitz, Sam (illustrator). …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. True story of a unique family who has lived on an island in the Colville River Delta where it butts up against the edge of the Arctic Ocean along Alaska's northern coast. An amazing saga of a frontier-homestead life laced with hard work, adventures, struggles, joys, setbacks, and successes--all wrapped in a fierce independence and free lifestyle.The description of life in this harsh but beautiful land spans the early years of great isolation, through the years of the discovery, development, and expanding petroleum industry along with increasing population surrounding the once extremely isolated homestead. It has been a life lived with bare necessities in tents progressing to one with modern homes with all the amenities. These stories stretch over 60 years of wilderness survival from early days of meager supplies and tent accommodations to a modern and plush home; from transportation limited to a small bush airplane in which to cross the vast distances between home and civilization up to vehicles traveling those distances by new roads; with months between any communication with the outside world to constant digital communications now available in the modern world.Helmericks home is an island of wilderness, a special protected spot or wildlife sanctuary that is home to hundreds of birds and other wildlife. The land has remained unchanged even though our living conditions have evolved from small tents to modern homes. Isolation has evolved into many neighbors. Despite the many changes all around us, the Helmericks love and hang on to their independent life carved out of a harsh but beautiful land. …
