The Reader's Companion to Alaska
YA?The 28 essays in this compilation are grouped geographically and are briefly introduced by the editor. Beginning with John Muir's first sight of Glacier Bay in 1879, the mostly autobiographical accounts provide a fascinating picture of the area and the people who visited, explored, or settled there. Contributors include Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Charles Kuralt, Ernie Pyle, John McPhee, Jon Krakauer, and many lesser known but equally perceptive writers. Recommended for YAs interested in wilderness exploration.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
