5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Outdoor Adventures of All Time, July 21, 2008

This review is from: Alaskan - Yukon trophies won and lost

This was a most impressive story as others have said because it is told as it happened. There are no dramatized or embellished inclusions here. This is a story of a time when men were men. Honorable, respectable and not the feminized bumbling type that a PC society is trying to produce today. I strongly endorse this book. It should be "must" reading for any hunter and highly recommended for all young men.

This review is from: Alaskan - Yukon trophies won and lost

This was a fantastic adventure tale, all the more fascinating because it was true, and well told in the understated style of the era. Even in the most trying situations, the author is matter of fact about the seriousness of their predicament, proving to me anyway that our forebears were a tougher lot than we could imagine being.
