(From the back cover of the book) How to be rich and broaden your world.  You can do all with a modest income.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Be an adventurer.  Don’t delay – do it now!

Adventures of an Alaskan - front coverThis book is about adventures in hunting, fishing, camping, boating and travel in dozens of states and countries.  This book includes fishing guides for halibut, king and sockeye salmon in South Central Alaska.

Bob Robb, Outdoor Writer: “Dennis is an old-time hunter and guide who began adventuring in the outdoors long before modern ‘conveniences’ and technical marvels.  He did it back when you needed old-fashioned woodsmanship skills and pluck and the skills to extract yourself from perils large and small, which to men like him were only an inconvenience and part of the adventure, not the stuff of a TV mini-series.  In this book he shares these adventures in a pleasant, easy-to-read style that reminds me of sitting around the old kitchen table, listening to my grandfather.  It’s a must read for today’s serious outdoorsmen.”

Jeff Bamat, PA:  “If it hadn’t been for Dennis (writing) I probably would have never made it to Alaska.  When Steve and I talk we mostly speak of hunts in Alaska even after hunting all across the US and Canada.” Hunt of a lifetime now repeated seven times.
