Chasing Alaska: A Portrait of the Last Frontier Then and Now

May 13, 2013 @ 7:30 pm

Alaska looms as a mythical, savage place: part nature preserve, part theme park. C. B. Bernard lashed his canoe to the roof of his truck and headed northwest, he learned that a relation had made the same trek a century earlier. After finding the journals of "Uncle Joe," Bernard threw himself at Alaska, boating to remote islands, hiking distant forests, and hunting and fishing the landscape. Chasing Alaska (Lyons Press) is a moving portrait, then and now, of the last frontier.
