In this book, Wayne Short tells the true stories of Alaskan characters he's known in a half century of commercial fishing in the Alexander Archipelago of southeastern Alaska. The book consists of twenty-one stories of men and women involved with dramatic action, humor-and at times, violent death. It is a book you won't want to put down.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
The author of The Cheechakoes and This Raw Land tells the humorous and often poignant stories of people on the Last Frontier.
From the Author
The book consists of short stories of various characters I have encountered in almost fifty years of commercial fishing and living in Alaska. Many are gone now, and our sons kept asking me to write the stories before they, too, were lost to the next and future generations. After I retired, I began to put them down.
