ON THE EDGE OF NOWHERE
Memoir by James Huntington
For sheer excitement and adventure, few novels match the true-life story of James Huntington. The son of a white trapper and Indian mother, Huntington learned early to fight for survival in Alaskas's remote Kuskokwim region, where life was hard. Huntington's mother once walked 1,000 miles in the dead of winter to return to her family. Later, when she died, it fell to her son - then just seven - to care for his brother and sister.
A courageous yet modest man, Huntington hunts wolves, fights bears, survives close calls too numerous to mention, and becomes the first musher to win the Anchorage and Fairbanks sled-dog race championships in the same year.
ON THE EDGE OF NOWEHRER is an enduring Alaska classic, an astonishing story filled with surprising twists and turns and still "tingling with excitement", as a reviewer put it.
Lawrence Elliott, who has written several books and numerous magazine articles, was Reader's Digest correspondent for Alaska and western Canada when this story was written in the mid-1960s. Elliott now lives in Luxembourg.
