Winds of Skilak: A Tale of True Grit, True Love and Survival in the Alaskan Wilderness
Winner of the 1999 National Outdoor Book Award: Outdoor Classic Category.
Over half a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Canada to survey land for a timber company. After paddling alone for several daysۥ"it was so quiet I could hear the drops from the paddle hitting the water"ۥhe came upon "the lake of my boyhood dreams." He never left. He named the place Cache Lake because there was stored the best that the north had to offerۥtimber for a cabin; fish, game, and berries to live on; and the peace and contentment he felt he could not live without.Country | USA |
