Book excerpt: CLICK HERE to download the first chapter from Small Feet, Big Land * Sequel to 2009’s top-selling A Long Trek Home: 400 Miles by Boot, Raft, and Ski * Unique narrative combination of thrilling adventure with the challenges of bringing small children along * An accessible window into life on America’s “Last Frontier” Small Feet, Big Land follows the expeditions and daily life of a family of four: Erin McKittrick and her husband, Hig, lifelong adventure trekkers, set out to explore the vast and remote wild corners of Alaska with their two young children in tow. After trekking thousands of miles through harsh and beautiful wilderness together, Erin and Hig must adjust to the short attention span — and short legs — of a toddler and the weight of a newborn baby, as they walk Alaska’s rapidly changing coastline. While visiting remote Arctic villages, touring a zinc mine, and exploring for two months on one of Alaska’s largest glaciers, Erin sees the dramatic effects of climate change on the landscape around her, and considers the very different world in which her children may live one day. Whether huddling in the pelting rain, facing a curious grizzly bear, eating whale blubber with new friends, or picking berries on the sunny tundra their unconventional adventures draw Erin’s family — and readers — closer together as they explore the intersection of wilderness and industry in America’s wildest state. Erin McKittrick and her husband, Hig, have walked over 7,000 miles through Alaska’s trackless wilderness. Their journey from Seattle to the Aleutians is chronicled in Erin’s first book, A Long Trek Home: 4,000 Miles by Boot, Raft, and Ski. In between expeditions, they are raising their children a stone’s throw from the wilderness in a yurt in Seldovia, Alaska. They are the founders of ground truth trekking, a nonprofit that uses science and adventure to further the conversation about Alaska environment issues: www.groundtruthtrekking.org/blog.

Book excerpt: I will always have a love for my birthplace, the Minnesota River Valley, but a new land of adventure was beckoning me. I was not interested in renting or owning a small portion of property, and that was all I could afford in Minnesota. I saw the last frontier on Earth, Alaska, and knew I could make a new life there. With having the freedom to breathe, to make a new life free from restrictions of movement. To feel like I was no longer tethered. The year was 1984, I had to take the first steps in making my dreamland come true. I had to find the piece of land I wanted to own and live on, so that I could stake my claim. One day, a friend informed me that there were two federal land areas open for homesteading. The very next day, I found my way into the federal land office in Anchorage, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). I told the woman working at the reception desk that I was interested in learning more about claiming a federal homestead. I picked up every folder, brochure, and form they had pertaining to filing for a homestead.The next year, after careful planning and preparation, I set out with my son Dan to start the journey of securing my dreams of the future. Alaska Wilderness Adventure documents the first step of my lifelong journey. It is a true story of survival-ism, the trials and errors we faced in the extreme wilderness, and our triumph over mastering our goals. There were many laughs, and many moments of uncertainty, but in the end, it was a successful piece of history.

Book excerpt: Alan Adaschiks dream was to visit Alaska; Americas last frontier and a place which abounds with wildlife and unspoiled wilderness. Upon retirement, Al and his wife Gayle sold everything and bought a thirty-seven foot Damon Intruder motor home to make his dream a reality. An Alaskan Adventure is a narrative about Al and Gayles trip which highlights the places they visited and the wonderful things they experienced along the way. An Alaskan Adventure commences in Indiana following a visit with Als relatives who live there. After negotiating the traffic jams of Chicago, Al and Gayle traveled I-94 across the northern Great Plains visiting Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana along the way. Heading north, they visited Glacier National Park and continued on to tour Yoho, Banff, and Jasper national parks in Canada. Afterwards, Al & Gayle picked up the Alaskan Highway which took them to a realization of Als dream. The reminder of the book is about Al & Gayles travels around the Great Alaskan Triangle, a circuit of 900 miles defined by the cities of Tok, Fairbanks, and Anchorage. While negotiating this triangle, Al and Gayles primary goals were to find gold in one of the many streams they crossed and to also find a Wooly Mammoth frozen in a glacier. Toward this end, they took side trips to the White Mountains National Recreation Area, Denali National Park, The Top of the World Highway, and the towns of Homer and Chicken. An Alaskan Adventure is not just a book about touring Alaska. Al is an environmentalist and a theme evident throughout the book is that the beauty we find around us is fleeting and that if we, as a species, continue to over-populate our world, what we see and value so highly is sure to go away.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years ago, celebrated American writer Edward Hoagland, in his early fifties and already with a dozen acclaimed books under his belt, had a choice: a midlife crisis or a midlife adventure. He chose the adventure. Pencil and notebook at the ready, Hoagland set out to explore and write about one of the last truly wild territories remaining on the face of the earth: Alaska. From the Arctic Ocean to the Kenai Peninsula, the backstreet bars of Anchorage to the Yukon River, Hoagland traveled the “real” Alaska from top to bottom. Here he documents not only the flora and fauna of America’s last frontier, but also the extraordinary people living on the fringe. On his journey he chronicles the lives of an astonishing and unforgettable array of prospectors, trappers, millionaire freebooters, drifters, oilmen, Eskimos, Indians, and a remarkably kind and capable frontier nurse named Linda. In his foreword, novelist Howard Frank Mosher describes Edward Hoagland’s memoir as “the best book ever written about America’s last best place.” In the tradition of Twain’s Life on the Mississippi and Jonathan Rabin’s Old Glory, with a beautiful love story at its heart, this is an American masterpiece from a writer hailed by the Washington Post as “the Thoreau of our times.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book by a man at home in Alaska, giving incidents of his life there and of the country itself. Jay Williams tells about Alaska as he knew it. He describes with affection both the country and the men who surrounded him, giving many accounts of encounters with the wildlife of the area—predominantly those ending in rifle shots, but in later years, those ending with camera shots instead. Williams devotes a good deal of space to the animals themselves and also gives information about the various areas of Alaska most familiar to him. Most of all, he gives sound advice on the experience, alertness and provisions needed by a man who copes with the wilderness and its animal inhabitants. In the appendices there is advice on equipment and technique for camp and trail and, written by Townsend Whelen, directions for making the Alaskan packboard and hunters’ lean to tent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warren Troy, Alaska wilderness adventure author, continues the Alaska homestead adventures of Denny Caraway. Caraway, long time Alaskan homesteader, is content to live a solitary, rugged and often dangerous life deep in the northern wilderness. After many years alone, however, loneliness causes him to seek companionship on his remote land and he reconnects with a former friend and lover who is willing to share his isolated life. Denny's world is full and complete until tragedy strikes, and Caraway completely severs all ties with the few people he does know. Leaving his beloved homestead, he leads a totally primitive existence deeper in the forest, hurt and angry, until a loyal friend finds him and Denny realizes it's time to come home.
