Haunted Inside Passage: Ghosts, Legends, and… por Bjorn Dihle
Interesting book about hauntings in Alaska's Inside Passage which includes Juneau, where I live. I was very happy to read the stories told by Renee Hughes, a Juneau local. All the stories were fun to read. Some I had heard of but did not know the full story. I loved reading the history about the sightings and the areas. Definitely a book you want to read if you are interested in ghost sighting and folklore in Southeast Alaska. I would recommend it!
Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.While the author and his family enjoy hunting and fishing it's not so much about a head with an impressive set of horns or antlers. It's about stocking the freezer for winter. Wasting the meat of an animal is legally frowned upon and carries penalties. I would have to survive on fish though as I wouldn't be able to shoot a deer. The author does exaggerate the size of fish and animals he catches or shoots especially when in a bar talking to other fisherman.

What a breath of fresh air! This was written by an outdoorsman for an outdoorsman, and for the first time in my life, I might recommend a book to my father, who only reads fishing or rifle magazines when he’s not reading the Cabela’s catelogue. These short, 3-4 page chapters, each it’s own story, remind me of my own long family trips out in the wilderness. Dihle’s voice couldn’t be clearer if you were sitting next to a campfire with him, and his stories mix hunting slang and deep knowledge of the Alaskan wilderness with laugh-out-loud situations and a modest sense of humor. If you are at a sportsman, please read this. I read most of it in one sitting, and was only forced to put it down because I had to get up for work the next day.… (mais)
