I'm in need of some new reading material. After rereading my copies of "Last of the great brown bear men" and "Alaska's wolf man", I'm in search of of similar stories about the north. It could be either Alaska or northern Canada. In fact I've run into darn few books that are from Canada's north country.

So any ideas on good stories on this?

I took your advice and bought a copy of:

Alaskan-Yukon Trophies Won and Lost
Book by George Orville Young

I have to thank you for that. It was one of the most interesting hunting, adventure, survival stories I've read in a while. What an adventure from beginning to end. At any point any one of them could have been killed and in fact one of the hunters did in fact die soon after.

If anyone hasn't read it I highly recommend it.

The Land of Feast and Famine by Helge Ingestad

My Life with the Eskimo by Steffanson

My 2 cents...."Men of the last frontier" by Gry Owl. Made a big impression on me as a kid....Later learnt that Grey Owl was actually a Scotsman! Still a good read

Speaking of books, does anyone remember a book about a guy who may have been from either Norway or Sweden and spent the winter trapping? I remember in the story a polar bear trying to drag him out the window near his bed while in his sleeping bag.

I read it when I was a teenager but for the life of me can't remember the title. Does that ring a bell with anyone?

I read that a couple of times,, Year long night,,or something close to that I believe. It was on Spitzbergon Island.

I have lived in Alaska a couple times and miss it. Listed below are just a small list of what I've read:
My Life with the Eskimo
If you lived here, I'd know your name
Tisha=by Robt. Specht
A Deliberate Life
Impossible beyond this point
Call of the American Wild
Wild Men, Wild Alaska
Alaska Man
Artic Homestead
Braving it-James Campbell-He is cousin o Heimo Korth on the Last Alaskans and has written 3 books that I know about this and he is good
Go North Young Man
Artic Daughter
I have read several more and can list them if you have read all of these.
