<p>This is the story of Bob Reeve, Alaska's first, most daring and most accomplished bush pilot. In 1932 he arrived in Valdez with no money, no plane and ill health. He soon made a career of doing the kind of flying that no one else wanted to do and earned the description of the the greatest rough-terrain pilot of our continent. He developed a successful commercial airline operating in the worst weather in the world along the fog-shrouded Aleutian chain, perfected the art of landing on glaciers, and engineered special devices for his plane that enabled him to achieve unheard-of performance at high altitudes.</p>

<p>In June 1919 Jim and Laurette Stanton abandoned their comfortable apartment in Seattle and made the journey up the 90 mile-long Knight Inlet on the B.C. Coast to seek contentment in the wilderness. For years they made a precarious living by trapping, fishing and hand logging. The first Christmas they were so poor that all Jim could give his wife was a young porcupine. But to Laurette, who loved all wild creatures, the porcupine was the finest present she had ever received. The Stantons thought of the abundant grizzlies as friends too, not enemies. Four of the big bears slept within 100 yards of their cabin. A mother and her cubs used their garden as a playground. Later Laurette raised three orphaned grizzly cubs. This book is about grizzlies and the Stantons who loved and respected them. Why did they leave their life in the city behind and did they find what they were looking for? Their story will tell you.</p>
