About The Book
A Bird's Eye View
This book is a compilation of the most popular real life stories of a young boy learning to navigate the mysterious and sometimes dangerous world of the 1950’s. Through innocent missteps and enduring inevitable consequences, the boy gradually learns responsibility and discipline.
This interesting memoir offers a wonderful look at life in Alaska. The author describes growing up in 1950’s, raising a family, building a successful business, and exploring the wilderness by bush plane. It is filled with adventures, personal stories, and details about flying, hunting, and fishing. It brings Alaska's people and landscapes to life. I highly recommended for anyone interested in Alaska's history, culture, and outdoor way of life.
