This enduring story of life, adventure, and love in Alaska was written by a woman who embraced the remote Alaskan wilderness and became one of its strongest advocates. In this moving testimonial to the preservation of the Arctic wilderness, Mardy Murie writes from her heart about growing up in Fairbanks, becoming the first woman graduate of the University of Alaska, and marrying noted biologist Olaus J. Murie. So begins her lifelong journey in Alaska and on to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where along with her husband and others, they founded The Wilderness Society. Mardy's work as one of the earliest female voices for the wilderness movement earned her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
EDITORIAL :
"Simply put, Mardy Murie is a national treasure. Her life has made a certain kind of life possible for the rest of us. Generations to come will feel her imprint, though they may not know it was how she lived her life that allowed them to witness some of the last wild places on Earth. They may not know that it is because of her life that their souls and spirits can be fed by what is natural and wild. I hope those who come long after us will have TWO IN THE FAR NORTH in their satchels as they gaze upon these natural wonders and that they, too, will come away with same resolve she ad to protect these incredible gifts." ---Robert Redford

I knew something was up a few chapters into this book and I almost put it down, but I cannot help but continue because I love hearing about their lives. Dr. There is little difference between the apparently Karma-comforted non-theistic Buddhist and the totally self-absorbed millionaire sports fisherman with his multi-million dollar fishing boat, $5,000 tankfuls of fuel, the boat bunny he brings to the remote fishing island while the wife thinks he's with the boys, the drunken stupor he finds himself awaking from without planning it. I read it cov
