(From the book's foreword by Charles J. Keim)  Thankfully, Harold Schetzle is one of millions of Americans taught by their fathers to use a firearm properly, then share hunts.  As son and father, I can testify that this is a prideful experience, and important to the nation.

I have a somewhat similar, but dual, feeling about Harold.  First, there's the sense of pride over this Vietnam Veteran's accomplishments as a widely published writer since he first arrived at the University of Alaska, where I became his professor/friend.  Second, while I was serving as a registered big game guide on the Alaska Guide Licensing and Control Board, I watched Harold develop from assistant to highly respected fair chase guide.  Later, I could assure him from afar, "you have the know-how; don't worry about your passing the examinations for Master Guide."

Today he holds that honorable professional position - hard earned, but auguring well for hunters who increasingly seek this highly experienced outdoorsman's expert services.  They are a diversity of hunters, from the United States, New Zealand, France, Germany, Norway, and our good friend and neighbor, Canada.  And they can "book" to hunt for a diversity of big game with modern firearms, muzzle loaders, archery and camera.

There are many persons, of course, who for a number of reasons cannot actively participate in such Alaskan wilderness hunts with Harold, or swap stories, maybe even a few "tall tales" with him around the campfire.  Vicariously, they'll be able to participate by reading this, his first book, ALASKA WILDERNESS HUNTER.  When they complete reading, they'll want to call Harold by the same name as do his other warm friends: "Zeke."  Read the book, and do it.  You're going to get to know this writer/guide better!
