Northern Alaska in the 40's
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
A newly-wed couple arriving in Norther Alaska in 1942 might have perished in a blinding blizzard during their first dog-team trip but for the sixth-sense of their Eskimo musher. Other harrowing experiences included landing in a small plane that had lost one wheel in flight, a close encounter with death in a savage storm on the Bering Sea and being caught aloft in a bush plane during a perilous "white-out" snow storm. But mostly this book is about a decade of hands-on service among the Eskimos in three villages in the land of long summer days and long winter nights - memoirs of heart-ache, joy, humor, friendships and great rewards. --- from book's back cover
