| Edward Abbey, who never much liked Alaska, called it â our biggest, buggiest, boggiest state.â To others, it has been a cure for despair. When the author moved to Fairbanks more than three decades ago, he was a cheechako, a subarctic tenderfoot. Gathering skills and experiences the hard way, he attained â Sourdoughâ status while realizing there would always be more to learn, see, and do in the land of midnight sun and auroras.En route, Engelhard suffered frostbite, stubborn yaks, grizzly charges, trophy hunters, cold-water immersion, heartbreak, incontinent raptors, one pesky squirrel, and honeymooners from abroad. He tried to rescue a raven and explored Arctic dunes and a glacierâ s blue heart, and his own, as he mingled with caribou on their epic journeys. |
