julie Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hi Julian Here's a couple for you to try . I haven't read either one, but they both sound interesting : The Floor of Heaven: A True Tale of the Last Frontier and the Yukon Gold Rush --Howard Blum If You Lived Here, I'd Know Your Name: News from Small-Town Alaska --Heather Lende Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I remember, many years ago, my dad reading Alaska by James A. Michener, but I haven't read it myself. Might be worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drislane Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Welcome Zajchik to the forum. Perhaps not the first to mind given your criteria, ''The Outlander' by Gil Adamson may be worth considering nonetheless. Set in 1903,written with skill and flair and stretched out across a wild and unforgiving Canadian landscape, I would recommend having a cursory look if nothing else.

frankie Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but here goes: The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney. Set in Canada in the 19th century. Murder mystery. Harsh winter, survival stuff. Great read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I was going to suggest that frankie, or The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
