Margaret E. Murie (1902–2003)

This is a family book and a nature book set in the mountainous wilderness of the Grand Tetons of Wyoming, where the Muries lived for thirty-seven years, where they raised their children, and where Olaus Murie conducted his famous studies of the American Elk, the wapiti. (With pen-and-ink drawings by Olaus Murie.)

Mahvelous.

A Borzoi book.

This piece is so very heartwarming and simply beautiful. The author shares her story filled with adventure, love, and a continued sense of protecting Alaska. A wonderful read for anyone who lives in, has lived in, or plans on living in Alaska.
