The latest in Chronicle Books' series of regional anthologies, Alaska Stories is filled with a myriad of voices, classic and contemporary, native Alaskans and newcomers, environmentalists and hunters, essayists and fiction writers. From the Eskimo tale, "The Man-Who-Became-a-Caribou," on the interconnection of animal and human life, to Alastair Scott's Tracks across Alaska, recounting the joy and frustration of dog mushing, these writings take readers to a land that occupies a distinctly mythic place in history.
