Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun: A Cheechako's First Year in Alaska
by Sean Michael Flynn
from Thomas Dunne Books
Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun is the story of Lt. Sean Michael Flynn as he tries to survive his first year in Alaska. With romantic notions of Jack London and Bush piloting, Lt. Flynn requests a transfer to Eielson Air Force Base outside of Fairbanks, Alaska. He is a bit unnerved at how easy the transfer goes through.
From a rugby game on a frozen river to living across from Santa's Village to random moose attacks to soaring over the Bush in an F-16, Land of the Radioactive Midnight Sun is a hilarious trial-by-many-errors account of what it takes to become a true Alaskan.
Two Years in the Klondike and Alaskan Gold Fields 1896-1898: A Thrilling Narrative of Life in the Gold Mines and Camps (Classic Reprint Series (Fairbanks, Alaska), No. 5.)
by William Haskell
from University of Alaska Press
"Woven around a detailed, frequently humorous narrative of the successes and failures of the author and his partner, the book offers insights into Klondike life ranging from practical advice on the techniques of cabin and boat building to observations on the virulence of mosquitoes, tent care, the quality of Klondike 'restaurants,' and the wisdom of justice dispensed by Alaskan miners' meetings." —Polar Record
"A first-rate memoir." —True West Magazine
"One of the finest 'I was there' accounts to be written by anyone about any aspect of America's rugged, frost-bound 'last frontier', or any other frontier, for that matter. …This is a wind-ranging, remarkably thorough, honest, and personal account of the gold rush, the Alaskan natives, crime and punishment, mining boomtowns and wilderness living conditions, and more." —Scan-a-Book
"This prose carries tremendous clarity and the unstilted writing style of a pro." —Bloomsbury Review
"I recommend this book to anyone who has the slightest interest in the Gold Rush. …[Haskell's] way of saying what he means is just as though he is in the chair next to you." —Alaska-Yukon Pioneer News
