AN INCREDIBLE, UNFORGETABLE STORY OF COURAGE - Betty L. Sheldon - Coarsegold, CA
What a story, what a life! Stanley's tiny mother makes an incredible journey to reach her children left alone with relatives. Across frozen rivers and through "No Man's Land," occupied by hostile Eskimos, this Athapaskan native traveled. At last, weak and exhausted, she was rescued by the one friendly Eskimo trader, Schilikuk who traded with her father. No Athapaskan Indian nor Eskimo dared enter "No Man's Land," because it was suicide to do so.
Stanley's own incredible survival with his siblings, after the sudden death of his mother in an isolated cabin when his father was gone, seems just as amazing as his mother's long trek. Made of the same strong spirit and constituion as his parents his long life takes many twists and turns.
You will not want to miss this native Alaskan's own story, nor the education you will receive about the Alaskan frontier.
