A harrowing sea voyage brought Vitus Vering, George Steller and crew to Alaska back in 1741. This fast-paced book brings the tragedy and triumph of the adventures of these first Europeans to set eyes on Alaska. Steller was an opinionated scientist for whom the Steller's jay and Steller sea lion are named. This was one of the first history books I read about Alaska, and I was hooked!

| The people of Alaska are an outrageously colorful, contrary bunch. You love 'em or hate 'em, and they love/hate one another. This classic from the mid 1970s captures Alaska at the height of the trans-Alaska pipeline building boom, and New Yorker staff writer John McPhee does a masterful job of capturing the contrariness of Alaska, writing as always with great depth, humor and compassion.
