Synopsis

This book is a true account of Keith A. Nelson's travel to and his work on the North Slope of Alaska from 1969-1970. His adventures and the characters he met and worked with were unique, to say the least. It was a time in history when the U.S. was undergoing massive social changes, including Vietnam, drugs, race, and other discontent. Alaska was a far-removed and simpler world, and the last true wilderness in this country, which was soon to be exploited by the oil companies. Readers will find this story very interesting and different from any other adventure they've read.
