Download or read book Alaska Wolff Pack written by Margaret Wolff and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob and Margaret Wolff celebrated their wedding anniversary six months after their marriage--in case they didn't make it a full year. However, they shared a thirty-one year honeymoon before Bob's tragic accidental death. Alaskan Wolff Pack is Bob and Margaret's story, and the story of the remarkable children, friends, and pets they accumulated along the way. The delights of living in the Alaska bush amidst four legged neighbors, the closeness of sharing a one room cabin in a forty square mile yard, and the adventures of gold mining and travel; could not be dimmed by fires, floods, crashes, or death. They mostly lived from hand to mouth, often without a dime in their pockets, occasionally their material possessions were little more than the clothes on their backs, and the tooth ferry could only leave an IOU note under the children’s pillows--but their real riches were abundantly awesome.

Book excerpt: Nathan Blaylock is a hard young man--toughened to rawhide by his mentor, an old gunslinger named Jim Riley, and his heritage: Blaylock is the illegitimate son of Wyatt Earp. Blaylock and Riley had briefly worked for corrupt E.T.. Barnette, who was determined to open a trading post at Tanana Crossing, but never made it up the river. Barnette's tenacity now pays off with the nearby discovery of gold; his forlorn outpost becomes the bustling boomtown called Fairbanks. Overnight, Fairbanks is transformed from a mudhole with log cabins and canvas tents to a brick and stone city, including the imposing bank Barnette founds to safely horde all the gold he extracts from the miners as tribute. When Nathan and Riley come up against the venal Barnette and oppose the Fairbanks kingpin, only Wyatt Earp and his pack of retired gunfighters can come to Blaylock's aid and rid the city of Barnette and his corrupt gang.

Download or read book Among Wolves written by Marybeth Holleman and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alaska’s wolves lost their fiercest advocate, Gordon Haber, when his research plane crashed in Denali National Park in 2009. Passionate, tenacious, and occasionally brash, Haber, a former hockey player and park ranger, devoted his life to Denali’s wolves. He weathered brutal temperatures in the wild to document the wolves and provided exceptional insights into wolf behavior. Haber’s writings and photographs reveal an astonishing degree of cooperation between wolf family members as they hunt, raise pups, and play, social behaviors and traditions previously unknown. With the wolves at risk of being destroyed by hunting and trapping, his studies advocated for a balanced approach to wolf management. His fieldwork registered as one of the longest studies in wildlife science and had a lasting impact on wolf policies. Haber’s field notes, his extensive journals, and stories from friends all come together in Among Wolves to reveal much about both the wolves he studied and the researcher himself. Wolves continue to fascinate and polarize people, and Haber’s work continues to resonate.

Download or read book The Wolves of Mount McKinley written by Adolph Murie and published by UBS Publishers' Distributors. This book was released on 1985 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the time of Lewis and Clark, wolves were abundant throughout North America from the Arctic regions to Mexico. But man declared war on this cunning and powerful animal when cattle replaced the buffalo on the western plains, reducing the wolf's range to those few areas in the Far North where economic necessity did not call for its extinction. Between 1939 and 1941, Adolph Murie, one of North America's greatest naturalists, made a field study of the relationship between wolves and Dall sheep in Mount McKinley National Park (since renamed Denali National Park) which has come to be respected as a classic work of natural history. In this study Murie not only described the life cycle of Alaskan wolves in greater detail than has ever been done, but he discovered a great deal about the entire ecological network of predator and prey. The issues surrounding the survival of the wolf and its prey are more important today than ever, and Murie helps us understand the careful balance that must be maintained to ensure that these magnificent animals prosper. Originally available only in government publications which are long out-of-print, this account of a much maligned animal is now available in its first popular edition.
