A book for every Alaskan's library! Jack Wilson began guiding hunters in Alaska's Territorial days when the great game herds were still being assessed; then he guided through the heyday and eventual downturn of the trophy sheep hunting in the Wrangell Mountains; all the while operating his air charter business and becoming one of Alaska's premier bush pilots - as recorded in his first book "Glacier Wings and Tales." These stories - including that of the World Record Dall Sheep taken by Harry L. Swank, Jr. - are written with his remarkable background in his honest, classic style. This book relates the history of Alaska,s game herds and how progress affected them - from mineral exploration to outlaw guides. A smattering of hunting advice fills out the pages. Written with candor and humor, it is required reading for those wishing to know and understand the rich history of Alaska. |
