"A voyage of spirit and mind into the wilderness in Alaska. Read it while camping in Alaska, great book!"

"I read this while traveling in Alaska for a month. It is still the baseline by which all other acconts of modern Alaska are measured, but a bit dated now. The chapter on the bush people of the Yukon (a third of the book) is still particularly evocative of the vanishing American frontier. It is sad to know that most of the people described by McPhee have now been pushed off the land by federal agencies that have seized vast swathes of the Alaskan wilderness (which means about 99% of the state); the lifestyle of the independent trapper has fast disappeared from Alaska, helped along by our own government - which will probably erect in its wake a Disney-style frontier villages for tourists to lionize with nostalgia the very thing they killed. Check out 'A Land Gone Lonesome' if you wish to read about the fate of McPhee's river people."

"Written in the mid 70's this feels a bit dated now. But, as always, McPhee's writing is lyrical and vivid. Now I want to find something about Alaska that is more contemporary."
