Description: Hard Way Home : Alaska Stories of Adventure, Friendship, and the Hunt, Paperback by Kahn, Steve, ISBN 0803265190, ISBN-13 9780803265196, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A lifelong Alaskan, Steve Kahn moved at the age of nine from the &;metropolis&; of Anchorage to the foothills of the Chugach Mountains. A childhood of berry picking, fishing, and hunting led to a life as a big-game guide. When he wasn&;t guiding in the spring and fall, he worked as a commercial fisherman and earned his pilot&;s license, pursuits that took him to the far reaches of the Alaskan wilderness. He lived through some of the most important moments in the state&;s history: the 1964 earthquake (the most powerful in . history), the Farewell Burn wildfire, the last king crab season in Kodiak Island waters, the Exxon Valdez oil spill and cleanup, and even the far-reaching effects of the 9/11 attacks. The essays in The Hard Way Home offer a view of Alaska that is at once introspective and adventurous. Here we find the state&;s plants, animals, people, geography, politics, and culture considered from an intimate perspective, yielding hard-earned lessons about conservation, sustainability, and living well. An irrepressible guide, Kahn invites readers to share his experiences and discoveries and to consider questions about a place, and a life, that are disappearing.
