| Annotation | This book is the author's account of eighteen months spent traveling over twenty thousand miles in tiny bush planes, on snow machines and snowshoes, in fishing boats and kayaks, on the Alaska Marine Highway and the Haul Road, searching for what defines Alaska. He also takes his wife and eight-year-old daughter with him, settling into a "home base" in Seward on the Kenai Peninsula, coming and going from there and hosting the rest of their family for extended visits. 2001. |

| Local Notes | "Looking for Alaska" is Jenkins' account of a year-long odyssey in America's last wilderness. From fishing expedition with some of Alaska's Native leaders to an ocean-kayaking trip in the glacier-ridden waters off the northwestern coast, Jenkins delivers a memorable diary of discovery--both of this place that captures maginations, and of himself, all over again." -- WorldCat. |
