In this memoir, a sequel to his immensely popular autobiography, former Alaska Governor Jay Hammond spins more delightful yarns about the fascinating people and humorous situations he has encountered from one end of Alaska to the other, from wild tales about life in the Bush to stories from the hot air-filled legislative halls in Juneau. Hammond is one of Alaska's great storytellers, charming even those who are the targets of tongue-in-cheek, sometimes poetic, abuse. He remains one of the state's most beloved and admired public figures twenty years after leaving office.
A former Marine fighter pilot from upstate New York, Jay Hammond headed north to Alaska after service in the Pacific during World War II. He became a trapper, bush pilot, fisherman, guide, government wolf hunter, poet, environmentalist, and finally a reluctant politician who endeared himself to Alaskans. He gave them what he describes as the unvarnished and sometimes unwelcome truth about public issues. For this, Alaskans punished Hammond by electing him governor-twice. "Jay Hammond has led an amazing life, and his writing is full of self-deprecating, gentle good humor . . ."-Alaska Journal of Commerce
