North to Alaska

Still waiting to travel there.  

 

1.  Coming into the Coutnry, John McPhee  (1977).  The only one of the list I've read.  A masterpiece of McPhee's stellar work.  He has a knack for finding interesting characters and adventures.  Conveys a sense of a country unto itself.  Bought used State Department book store.

4.  Birthplace of the Winds: Adventures in Alsaska's Islands of Fire and Ice, John Bowermaster (2000).  Bought used, can't remember where.

 

5.  Passage to Juneau: A Sea and Its Meanings, Jonathan Raban (1999).  Bought used, can't remember where.
