Alaskan Adventures,
Very good reading, Russel Anabel knows how to write a good story, his adverrtures in Alaska are a full of interest and surprise, a good read for anyone interested in hunting in the wilds of Alaska

Typical Annabel "faction" stories, interesting stories from a vivid imagination each with a shread of fact. Interesting that Russ could whip out a finished story in a short time with little or no editorializing necessary.

Since I'm an avowed Annabel fan this was a really good read. Obviously Rusty takes a little poetic license which I sure didn't recognize 60 years ago. I have visited some spots and ridden the same RR he did. I would never have cared a wit about AK without his writing.

I have yet to receive this book so I am of course most unhappy.I understand the book is great.If I ever receive it Ill let you know my opinion.

The venerable father of hunting and fishing literature, none other than Ernest Hemingway himself, said that Russell Annabel was the finest outdoor writer he had ever read. After reading this book I have to agree. Mr. Annabel is clearly one of the best, if not the very best, outdoor adventure author of the 20th century.
Most stories are set in Alaska and all are based on Mr. Annabel's real-life experiences or are based on historical fact. In particular, a few stories about the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian islands during World War II will bring tears to the eyes of the most jaded and hardened military historian.

But most stories are happier and deal with the sporting life in its most natural and enjoyable way. The essence of Mr. Annabel's writing is the essence of outdoors Alaska itself and comes from a time when fishing and hunting provided the basis of daily life for most resident Alaskans and many visitors.
Not to worry though, this book is not a dry historical treatise or boring account of sporting economics. It is a series of "up close and personal" accounts of the process of horsepacking, backpacking, hiking and exploring with rod and gun throughout Alaska. The stories also occur during a time when circumstances and attitudes were just a bit different than they are today.

This book is terrific, easy, entertaining, fact-based reading. If you are an outdoorsman (or woman) Annabel's stories will make you long for life in a different era.

Hemmingway considered Annabel one of the greatest outdoor writers of all time. It is no wonder as you read his best works in this book. Annabel has a way of drawing you into his hunts and adventures..he paints a picture that you can see so clearly that when he describes the biting cold you actually feel like buttoning up your shirt. You can see that cold Alaskan moon and stay with him as he chases his horses and his game..all with the legend of Alaskan outdoors himself, his good friend and mentor, Tex Cobb. If you love hunting for the spirit the fun and the adventure, do yourself a favor and buy this book. You will not regret it.
