Wild voice of the North

While this book is similar in some aspects to the works of other nature authors, such as Farley Mowat, the author takes a more serious look at her life in a post World War Two Alaska. While living in Nome, doing studies of Lemmings, she becomes acquainted with a dog that would eventually become her own: a Siberian Husky named Bobo.

Miss Carrighar offers insightful commentary on life, and people, but mainly on the animals that populate the wilderness around her. Never boring, always thoughtful, and recommended.
