I loved this. It came to me in the winter, just during the holidays when, because of events in my life it is a dark time.
This book swept me away to Alaska and not Ms. Palin's Alaska but the AK of the first major Federal incursion.
People three generations on the land were dispossessed.
From going into the wilderness and staking a claim, building a cabin it went to where you could not buy a fifty foot BUILDING LOT.

Fascinating.
