Summary: Great story, wonderfully told
Comment: This is a stellar example of how beautiful prose writing can be. Story telling is an art, a skill, and this is as good as it gets.
Rating: 5
Summary: Adventuring Swedes
Comment: So much more than an adventure tale. Doig captures the threatening beauty and drama of this coast and gives a strong sense of the time period. As is the case with all his books you can reach out and touch the characters. Their interactions and relationships couldn't be more realistic.

Summary: Alaska's Inside Passage, four Swedes and a Canoe
Comment: After a recent trip from Seattle to Juneau on a small cruise ship (100 passengers) I read this book, which is based upon a true story, upon the recommendation of a fellow passenger. It was the perfect post script to a modern day cruise up the coast of British Columbia and Alaska's "inside passage" (along its southeast coast). Author Voig's four Swedes, all indentured servants escaping from the the Russians, take a similar route, but they do it in 1860 (when Alaska was "Russian America") and they head South from Sitka to Astoria, Oregon. They travel in a twenty foot open dugout canoe stolen from the "Kaloshes", a sect of Northwest Indians (Tlingit). The Swedes experience the same unpredictable weather, seas and coastline as they modern day traveler, but they have no cablin, dining room or tour director. And they have to paddle all the way - a distance of over one thousand miles. The tale is a tribute to the human spirit. Ivan Voig knows this part of the world, and he enabled me to relive my fabulous trip as high adventure from my living room chair.
