This is the fourth edition of a work that always has been
controversial in Alaska. Yet, it is an important and highly
readable classic work that captures a portrait frozen in time of a
raw state in turmoil during the oil boom. McGinnis went north to
find out if there was anything left of the "last frontier." He
found "mind-bending contradictions," as a previous publisher put
it--greed, waste, addictions, and racism, among other things, that
contrasted with an awesome untamed natural beauty and an honest,
open, and independent spirit of the people.
