This was an "ok" read. I am glad I am done with it, and now am ready to read a book with a plot and get acquainted with some new characters. The highlight of this book was reading the excerpt from Gary Paulsen's book, "Winterdance". I just can't keep a grin off my face when thinking of that book and the enjoyment I had in reading it, many years ago. Walker's excerpts from John Muir's writings reminded me of how difficult it is for me to read Muir's writings. Bottom line is, I am an avid fan of Alaska, so I did enjoy the book. I liked Walker's selected writings on the Alaska Gold Rush Days, especially Jack London's writings. If I was to criticize this book, I would fault Mr. Walker in his advoidance of including written rhyme and verse poetry about Alaska. Robert Service's Spell of the Yukon, Cremation of Sam McGee, etc. can capture, in my opinion, anyone's love for this great big broad land - way up 'yonder. Another poet I would include is Larry Beck...... Anyway, I am rambling, because I enjoy thinking about this Great State and the time I have spent there.
ITS GREAT
