Lunch at Toad River: Moving to Alaska
Great fun! This memoir by a member of the "local aristocracy" in Gustavus, Alaska (population 350) is a wonderful read. In the early 1960's, she and her husband - along with the eight children - left their home in Falmouth, MA in a converted school bus, driving across Canada to move to Alaska. The author is so funny, and the stories are even better. I can't imagine people actually doing what they did - but it's true! (We met her granddaughter at dinner last summer, when we ate at the Gustavus Inn ...)
Alaska is clearly not that far from being "frontier," as evidenced by their experience. Reading it made me homesick for our drive north:-)
