Coming Into the Country by John McPhee

4.5

adventurous informative inspiring reflective relaxing slow-paced

---

This book is similar to a collection of essays in three parts. Each part giving you an idea of what Alaska was immediately after state hood. Essays about nature and the wilderness in the far north, about alaskas search for a new state capital, and profiles of the many types of people and walks of life in the bush. Slow, and a perfect pick up and put down whenever kind of book. If you want to spend some time on the river in the country, this book will not disappoint.
