Final Frontiersman: Heimo Korth and His Family, Alone in Alaska s Arctic Wilderness
£4.71
Another world....beautifully depicted - A true story, James Campbell relates his cousin Heimo s early life, and all the factors that drove him to seek out a life in the Alaskan wilderness. Campbell vividly depicts the hardships and many life threatening incidents Korth has faced - and continues to face - and also his deep love for his Family and surroundings. You can only marvel at Korth s survival instinct and skills. This is an absorbing tale (interlaced with just enough political and general background concerning developments in Alaska), especially given that Korth s way of life is fast vanishing. A book for all escapists, (arm chair) travellers and anyone interested in subsistence/alternative living. Can t wait to find out what happened to the Korths after their difficult decision taken in the final chapters...
