wonderful book about pioneer Alaska
The historic town of Eagle, Alaska, is literally at the end of the road, over a hundred miles of rugged gravel Taylor Highway from the Alaska Highway.Nonetheless, it is a major destination for tourists who brave the road, or who come down the Yukon River from Dawson City, due to its wonderful museum, historic buildings and artifacts, and outstanding guided tours.

Elva Scott of the Eagle Historic Society & Museum has presented a collection of essays about the history of Eagle and the pioneers who built it.Here you can read about Erwin (Nimrod) Robertson, the only man who ever ate a grizzly bear with its own teeth, and Judge James Wickersham who brought law and order to the lawless frontier.

A must-read for anyone interested in history. ... Read more
