After a visit to Alaska, I wanted to know more about the History of Alaska. When I saw this book, not only was it filled with History, but, there were tons of pictures to go along with the written History!! I couldn't rest with just one volume,,,I had to have all four volumes! On my second trip to Alaska, I attended the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, Alaska. As we were strolling down the many booths, I looked up and there she was,,,,,Laurel Downing Bill,,,,the author of my four Volume set!!! I was thrilled to death! I begged her to write a 5th Volume and she said it was a work in progress! I was thrilled to meet her and then met her again in Anchorage. We talked for a long time and have been friends ever since. If you love Alaska, then you need all 5 Volumes of this wonderful book!
Brings Alaska's history to life!
AUNT PHIL'S TRUNK, VOL. 1, by Phyllis Downing Carlson and Laurel Downing Bill, is a wonderfully written, eminently readable, and richly illustrated narrative of Alaska's history up to 1900. Ensuing volumes â including one expected to be released within the coming year â continue the story through the 20th century.
I especially loved the wealth of vintage photographs in these pages that made frontier Alaska spring to life. So many cultures and so many characters populate this book: native tribes, Russian and American explorers and fortune hunters, trappers, prospectors, merchants, heroes, shamans, and scalawags. They are all here in their wild and woolly glory, pitting themselves against one of the most beautiful and forbidding landscapes in the world. In pre-1900 Alaska, fortune and disaster are never more than a hair's breadth apart.
AUNT PHIL'S TRUNK is full of well-researched tales both wonderful and tragic. Written in a clear, coherent, and evocative voice, it is a fascinating window to Alaska's wild past. Highly recommended!
