Synopsis:
To the north lies Alaska, the vast, untamed land that master storyteller James Michener now reveals in all its awesome, sweeping majesty. The native peoples of Alaska have spent millions of lifetimes confronting the most fearsome elements of destruction—the bitter winds of Mother Nature and the unlimited might of the great armies of the world. Here are the men and women who dared to live the unspoiled land that is Alaska and lay claim to the elusive spirit that holds native and visitor alike.
In a novel that ranges from the near-forgotten past to the highly technological present, from self-defense to self-determination, here is Alaska's emotional, at times violent, history. It is a story of the human community living on the edge of the world, claiming a bold heritage of survival against all odds.
