Produktbeschreibung

The remote, unforgiving landscape and colossal-and unpredictably unstable-mountain ranges of Alaska have kept at bay many a faint-hearted outsider, but the lure of this territory's beauty, as well as its rich and vast resources, continues to entice adventuresome natives and outsiders alike. It Happened in Alaska goes behind the scenes to tell its story, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped The Land of the Midnight Sun. In an easy-to-read style that's entertaining and informative, Alaska resident Diane Olthius recounts some of her state's most captivating moments.
