I have read many Alaskan stories and books. Being from central Europe, this place has always been a favourite to me for the vast, empty landscape.

I spent a month vacation there years ago and yearn to return again. While there, I picked up Shadows on the Koyukuk, the story and life of Sidney Huntington. I re-read that book many times and it starts to fall apart!

Sidney had a large family, did you ever meet any of them, or even the man himself? I believe he died in the late 90's?

Good to hear, and thank you for doing this AMA.

Sidney Huntington used to have a salmon fishery operation in Galena, I believe. And as a half Athabascan used to hunt and trade fur all over the region.
