5.0 out of 5 stars
A lyrical tribute to the Aleutian Islands,
By Carol (Kodiak, AK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moments Rightly Placed: A an Aleutian Memoir (Paperback)
Ray Hudson's memories of Unalaska and its people form a beautiful portrait of a time and place. As a former resident of Unalaska, I highly recommend the book. Although the community can no longer be called a village, the Aleut roots described in Hudson's tale are still there. And his deeply evocative descriptions of the land--one of the most remote and beautiful in the world, I'm convinced--are wonderful. The descriptions of everything from fog to wildflowers to stormy nights are moving and accurate. A definite must to anyone traveling to the Aleutian Islands--and a terrific travelogue for the armchair traveler..
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Beautiful, Heartfelt Story of Life in Unalaska,
By hummbirdy "hummbirdy" (Unalaska, Alaska) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Moments Rightly Placed: An Aleutian Memoir (Alaska Book Adventures (Epicenter Press)) (Paperback)
This is a true story written by a white teacher who came to Unalaska when the native culture was still alive and well here. He was interested in the culture, and immersed himself in it. This book is a must read for anyone living in, or traveling to Unalaska or who is interested in the history of this place or the Unangan "Aleut" people. It made me want to see the culture rise to dominate here again.
