Donna Morang's memoir of Alaska begins in 1968 as she travels the
Alcan Highway from Montana to Fairbanks, Alaska. However, this is
only the beginning of her lifelong dream of hunting and fishing in
the Last Frontier of Alaska. She will take you to the Brooks Range,
north of the arctic circle, where she and her mate hunt for dall
sheep, come face-to-face with a grizzly bear that wants to eat
them, and an angry moose trying to trample her hunting partner.
Return to the Brooks Range to live with Donna, her mate, and
one-year-old daughter in a cabin deep in the wilderness while
mining for the elusive gold. Live an authentic life in the Bush of
Alaska (The Bush is a term Alaskans use to describe regions of the
state not connected to civilization) where she bakes her own bread,
has no electricity, no running water, and wolves try to eat her
baby. Fish along side her in the famous Katmai and Resurrection
Bay, or do some crazy dip-net fishing for salmon at Chitna, Alaska.
Catch a few grayling, salmon, or norhtern pike, and float the Delta
river where she almost lost her life. Fly in small airplanes over
the Brooks Range to view forest fires waiting to trap them in the
wilderness, or hold on tight as they cruise over the majestic
Prince William Sound to land on Hitchenbrook Island, and hunt for
Alaskan brown bear. Return to the new life-style in the wild and
wooly north after the discovery of oil, and the not-so-civilized
changes to the Last Great Frontier of Alaska. As author David
VanDyke says, "The Wild Side of Alaska will pull you in and keep
you laughing, crying and gasping at the amazing true story of one
of the last real American frontier women. You won't want to miss
this down-to-earth tale of woman versus wilderness.
