Crooked River Country (Paperback)
Wranglers, Rogues, and Barons

Sam Wright
From one of the last great wildernesses—the Brooks Range of Alaska, one hundred miles inside the Arctic Circle—Sam Wright speaks to an emerging view of nature as an interconnected, dynamic whole.

Slick as a Mitten (Paperback)
Ezra Meeker's Klondike Enterprise
Dennis Larsen
Ezra Meeker braved the Oregon Trail in 1852 and accumulated a fortune in the Puyallup hop-growing business. Suddenly, at the dawn of the new century, he lost his wealth, and despite his advanced age, ventured to Alaska and the treacherous Klondike. Four years of letters, most from Ezra to his beloved wife Eliza Jane, relay the details of his risky scheme to transport and sell 100 tons of groceries to Yukon gold miners.
