Exceptional! December 12, 2008

I found this book after hearing about it through a relative. The author is a my mothers cousin and I have pictures that were sent to my Grandmother that depicted the life that Evelyn describes so well in this book. It's a fascinating read and everyone that I have recommended it to loves it! Get this book, read it and pass it on. It's a real piece of history, and I am proud that its a piece of my personal history.

I bought this book a few years ago, while staying at the Falcon Inn Bed and Breakfast in Eagle, Alaska. I re-read it just this past weekend and probably enjoyed it even more the second time. It's like you're right there with the author, experiencing the excitement and hardship of frontier life as it happened. Certain to enjoy. Great for kids too, as the writing style is refreshingly authentic and straight forward.

This author signed copy has been in my library unread for around 8 years. I regret to say I dont remember Evelyn B. Shore because if I could talk to her now there is so much i would like to say.
The book starts out with her and her 4 sibling and their parents trapping in the remote areas of the Alaska during fall and winter seasons for a decade. She grows up knowing nothing but survival and hunting. The simple fun she desribes having with her siblings make me wish I were there. She was the greatest of women in her capabilities. Her driscription of the Northwwest fills my soul. The added photos are great in seeing what it must have been like.
This was a great book I would reccomend to anyone who considers themselves a survivor or who would enjoy the way life use to be.
