“As someone who loves knowledge of timeless homesteading and
survival skills, this book fascinated me. In addition to being an
interesting read, the book could also serve as a preparedness
manual.” –Leon Patenburg, The Sportsman Pages blog The Alaska
Homesteader's Handbook is a remarkable compilation of practical
information for living in one of the most impractical and
inhospitable landscapes in the United States. More than forty
pioneer types ranging from their mid-nineties to mid-twenties
describe their reasons for choosing to live their lives in Alaska
and offer useful instructions and advice that made that life more
livable. Whether it be how to live among bears, build an outhouse,
cross a river, or make birch syrup, each story gives readers a
window to a life most will never know but many still dream about.
Fifty photographs and 150 line drawings illustrate the real-life
experiences of Alaska settlers such as 1930s New Deal colonists,
demobilized military who stayed after World War II, dream-seekers
from the '60s and '70s, and myriad others who staked their claim in
Alaska.
