Excerpt from Adventures in the Wilderness We will suppose our traveller comfortably seated a few moments before the time of starting, and will engage his attention by a brief sketch of the several routes and their attractions. Tourists say there is no more diversified and pleasing scenery east of the Missouri River than that along this line. It is attracting more and more attention every year. After leaving Boston, the first stopping - place of note is Waltham, where the celebrated American watches are manufactured. A fine view of the factory may be had on the left. As you approach Concord, on the right may be seen Walden Pond, a beautiful sheet of water, which is said.

This classic is an original work of literature by one of America's foremost conservationists and is an account of the people of the north, both Native and white, who give Alaska its special human flavor. First published over fifty years ago, the book is still a favorite among old-time Alaskans and, over the years, has prompted numerous readers to pack up and move to Alaska. The richness of statistical coverage in this book, and Marshall's careful descriptions of the characters he met, provide readers with a window to the world of 1930 and a nearly complete record of the Koyukuk civilization as he saw it. Readers learn what the people of Wiseman thought about sex, religion, politics, and the myriad of ways they found to cope with and enjoy life in a wilderness community.

Wilderness Adventures Wild Game Cookbook is our second wild game cookbook. We have selected 100 recipes from our first book, Savor Wild Game, and added 135 new recipes. You'll find great recipes for wild game as well as great wine selections. There are also abundant tips for the proper preparation of game and the proper way to cook the various types of game. Field & Stream reviewer, Jonathan Miles, raved about our first Savor Wild Game Cookbook. "This is the book I'd turn to first after bagging a brace of pheasants or pulling a deer roast from the deep freeze. The Johnsons, a Montana-based couple, have been hunting and cooking together for four decades." Gray's Sporting Journal reviewer, Chris Camuto said, "The Johnsons hunt and cook with soul. This inviting nicely-produced cookbook is destined to become dog-eared and stained with use - the best endorsement a cookbook can have." Book jacket.

Sam learns about courage, danger, and independence during his year in the wilderness, a year that changes his life forever. “An extraordinary book . . . It will be read year after year.” —The Horn Book

Weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction, Sara Donati’s epic novel sweeps us into another time and place . . . and into a breathtaking story of love and survival in a land of savage beauty. It is December of 1792. Elizabeth Middleton leaves her comfortable English estate to join her family in a remote New York mountain village. It is a place unlike any she has ever experienced. And she meets a man unlike any she has ever encountered—a white man dressed like a Native American: Nathaniel Bonner, known to the Mohawk people as Between-Two-Lives. Determined to provide schooling for all the children of the village, Elizabeth soon finds herself locked in conflict with the local slave owners as well as with her own family. Interweaving the fate of the Mohawk Nation with the destiny of two lovers, Sara Donati’s compelling novel creates a complex, profound, passionate portait of an emerging America. Praise for Into the Wilderness “My favorite kind of book is the sort you live in, rather than read. Into the Wilderness is one of those rare stories that let you breathe the air of another time, and leave your footprints on the snow of a wild, strange place. I can think of no better adventure than to explore the wilderness in the company of such engaging and independent lovers as Elizabeth and her Nathaniel.”—Diana Gabaldon “Each time you open a book you hope to discover a story that will make your spirit of adventure and romance sing. This book delivers on that promise.”—Amanda Quick “A beautiful tale of both romance and survival…Here is the beauty as well as the savagery of the wilderness and, at the core of it all, the compelling story of the love of a man and a woman, both for the untamed land and for one another.”—Allan W. Eckert “Lushly written . . . Exemplary historical fiction.”—Kirkus Reviews “Epic in scope, emotionally intense.”—BookPage
