Murray has produced an exceptional compendium of nature writing about Alaska, a total of 48 selections. It is arranged in chronological order from 1741 to 1989 and includes such well-known authors as John Muir, Jack London, and Barry Lopez. The writing encompasses geographical descriptions and animal accounts, as well as human encounters with the environment and themselves. This remarkable collection of stories will be a good purchase for public libraries with a need for a collection of stories about this region.

Product Review
"By the end of the book you are convinced that no matter how grand the scenery, how spectacular the views, the people who explore, who climb Mount Denali, or live by themselves during the Alaskan winters and then write about it, are no less spectacular."--The Christian Science Monitor
"Here, for the first time, is a collection of writings about Alaska from diverse viewpoints and times.Murray's introduction provides a strong structure."--Booklist
