During a sabbatical leave in 1968, Sam and his wife, Billie, moved into the wilderness of Alaska north of the Arctic Circle where they built a twelve-foot by twelve-foot log cabin with simple hand tools on a slope above a mountain lake. Their goal was to experience intimately the traditional Eskimo way of life by emulating it as much as possible. Author of Koviashuvik and Edge of Tomorrow: An Arctic Year, Sam and his present wife, Donna Lee, currently spend their time between Arizona and Alaska.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dudley Court Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40476511633523,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":16.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8499f3bc-07d7-4a94-a04b-a7b2f71f8e30.jpg?v=1664461023","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-way-it-was-letters-to-unborn-posterity-9780983138303","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
