Alaska's Wanderlust is a collection of short stories of how people worked, faced challenges and lived in the Territory of Alaska before statehood. It gives you an idea of the things they had to work with and it tells it like it was. Some of these stories are sad, while others are funny and shows that friendships even with animals last a life time. When Alaska became a state things changed. Some of the people changed along with it, while others passed away or left. Alaska's Wanderlust was inspired by my father Dave, an old time fisherman, a few other old time fisherman and some very special friends . I for one, was so lucky to have grown up in the Territory of Alaska and will cherish my memories forever.
