Awesome Book

I grew up in Ketchikan,and I loved this book.I have started a bookshelf in my home for just Alaskan books.This book was such fun to read. The conditions they lived in were unreal,but you would never know,they truely loved the time they spent there.I no longer live there and haven't for over 20 years,but I will always have fond memories of all the years I did spend there just like these two sisters did.This book is a must read and one to sit proudly on my Alaskan shelf.

A Wonderful Picture of a Special Time in Alaska

My wife and I read this book aloud together and found it very enjoyable. It was fun to read about our home state and its early development. But it was also a fascinating human story of friendship, love, and the sad turns life can take. The only real mystery is, why in the book Alaska Sourdough by Richard Morenus, a book that purports to tell the story of Slim, there is no mention of Slim's years with these sisters? I read Alaska Sourdough almost 30 years ago and am now delighted to read more of the truth of these remarkable people.
