About the Author:
Douglas C. Myers, Ph.D., an Alaska resident, was raised in Oregon, and in Washington served as a consultant and licensed counseling therapist encouraging reconciliation, personal growth, and relationship sensitivity. He was the joint owner of a rustic fish camp located on a remote river system in Southwest Alaska. Subsequent adventures were shared with Native friends at their historic village site in the region of Bristol Bay. These visits and others in distant areas of the Bering Sea, Alaska Peninsula, and Kodiak Island offered cultural insights, fascinating sport-fishing experiences, and close encounters with some of Alaska's renowned brown bears. As an artist, Myers' goal has been to illustrate on canvas Alaska's scenic treasure, historic Native culture, and wildlife display.
Review:
The author's dedication to discovery is one I know to be essential in living a full life. It was a pleasure for me to read each chapter with the desire for more. When describing his wilderness adventure experiences, Doug effectively humanizes the wild creatures and events in order to illustrate the essentials in living a fulfilled life. I recommend this writing to anyone who appreciates a sensitive and thoughtful understanding of Alaska's wilderness, Native people and culture, sport fishing adventure, and wildlife.
