Something about the frozen northland has always inspired the imagination. "The Last Frontier" lives on in our collective consciousness as a place where wilderness reigns supreme and humanity's foothold is tenuous, at best. Not only that, the humanity we've got tend to be some of the most colorful people you'll ever find.

   Whether their ancestors have lived here for centuries, or they came as cheechakos and became sourdoughs, for the people you will read about, Alaska is HOME.
