More DescriptionThousands of tourists flock to Alaska to hunt and fish in dramatic landscapes and on pristine waters. A network of guides and lodges caters to those men and women, and wildlife biologists track the animals to insure healthy populations. The Last Frontier has nurtured homegrown fishing and hunting legends for generations. The more than two dozen colorful characters highlighted in the book transcend the act of merely catching fish or shooting game. While the men and women are celebrated due to their incredible skills, it's their ability to raise positive awareness or help others to gain a greater appreciation for Alaska's fish and wildlife resources that separates them from others. Alaska's Fishing and Hunting Legends celebrates many of these amazing personalities with a remarkable historical perspective combined with colorful anecdotes and new insights. Many of the historic images in the chapters--discovered in family archives--have never been published. It's certain to both entertain and serve as a treasured resource for all those interested in Alaska's history and outdoors lore.
