I am fifty pages into this delightful biography of Don Sheldon. The early chapters tell the narrative of his move to Alaska, and his several years of odd jobs during the depression; from trapping to gold mining, and working an Anchorage dairy to helping build Talkeetna's first airstrip, all supplemented by subsistence hunting … engaging tales told in spare prose.
He is about ready to learn to fly! (The link below will allow you to read the book online for 14 days.)
