Reader Reviews
I came upon Loel's book by a series of happy accidents. Her adventurous excursion to Alaska's North Coast was in 1950; I had spent several years in government weather service in that area, 6 to 8 years previously, and knew well most of the places and some of the people she saw and met and wrote of. An item in the local paper and a shot-in-the-dark phone call led to a contact which led to my acquiring her book. I read it almost in one sitting, even though my eyesight is far short of acute. Its appeal to me of course is amplified by my familiarity, but there is an intrinsic appeal which does not need that familiarity. Of this spirited young woman, carrying with her the "stowaway" her yet unborn daughter, encountering and appreciating a people and their culture that were soon to be forever altered, if not destroyed. It is poignant, it is informative, it is fun. It is one of those things that grab you; you cannot put it down. When you do you say to yourself Gee, I wish I could have done that.
