Summary of Arctic Homestead: The True Story of One Family's Survival and Courage in the Alaskan Wilds
In 1973, Norma Cobb, her husband Lester, and their five child-ren, the oldest of whom was nine years old and the youngest, twins, barely one, pulled up stakes in the Lower 48 and headed north to Alaska to follow a pioneer dream of claiming land under the Homestead Act. The only land available lay north of Fair-banks near the Arctic Circle where grizzlies outnumbered humans twenty to one. In addition to fierce winters and predatory ani-mals, the Alaskan frontier also drew society's more unsavory human elements. But through it all, the family survived on the strength of Norma Cobb-a woman whose love for her family knew no bounds and whose courage in the face of mortal danger is an inspiration.Memoirs Books
