This is the story about a guy from Wisconsin that graduates from high school and moves to Alaska.  He starts out working for a guide and eventually becomes a full time trapper.  He marries an Eskimo gal and has a couple kids.  He lives 100 miles from his nearest neighbor and lives above the artic circle.  

I got this book for Christmas and once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.  Read it in 2 days.  I would definately recommend this book.  It has many good stories of survival and has some Alaskan history to it as well.
