A nostagic look at a vanished world and way of life. I found the first half of the book most interesting as it dealt with the Murie's life in the early 20th century, Incidents through out the book, though, reminded me that in this enormous landscape of possibilities, how easily, by their innocent choices, their story could have been one of tragedy and survival rather than one of wonder and exultation. It is a razor's edge of existence in such places, with the unexpected always lurking in the shadows. This is a story that cannot be duplicated today, so just sit back, relax, and enjoy a warm and gentle reminiscence of one who was there.
This is an easy-going--and nearly impersonal--account of two dynamic, original people mushing through the interior of Alaska before it became a U.S. state. The observational/scientific work of Olaus Murie and his wife Mardy Murie (Margaret E. Thomas), beginning in 1924, resulted in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge--and that's only one of their great and crucial conservation achievements. Mardy's account gives a close-up view of mostly untrammeled Alaska, with insight into the lives (and eccentricities) of native and non-native people, and fascinating incidents with the Malemutes and Huskies that were essential to any trek into the interior. The humour is light and personal details quite absent in this lightly charming account that never says anything bad about anyone--and the Murie's now hold a place in the history of the U.S.
Margaret Murie's story of her life from a child in Fairbanks to a newly wed honeymooning in the far north to the work she, Olaus, and their colleagues did over the years to document the flora and fauna will fascinate those who love the north country. As will the friendships that blossomed in challenging a environment and joint efforts that resulted in establishing the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
This book is so moving...to read what it was like to just "head north"; the sights and experiences, the dangers and joys, the trials and tribulations from a woman who lived it, is just incredible. My girlfriend read it out loud in the car as we drove the vast distances of Alaska. It made the scenery so much more alive! The book made life in Alaska so much more real. Margaret Murie's appreciation of nature helped me "visit Alaska" in a much more satisfying way, less hurried more studied. I highly recommend this book.
I, first, heard of Mardy Murie and her husband, Olaus, while watching John Denver's The Wildlife Concert. He wrote A Song For All Lovers for their deep and abiding love for each other and for the state of Alaska. The song's beauty gave rise to my curiousity. And, recently, while watching a documentary of Mardy's life, I became determined to read this book about her life.This book is a must have. Mrs. Murie paints with words, a picture so vivid of Alaska's tundras and plains, that I felt as if I were part of it. The lifestyle was hard, but satisfying, and this woman's life was nothing short of fascinating. Mardy Murie is a living testament to the strength and beauty of women, and she leaves a shining example of what a woman can do. In her assistance in Olaus' work for the ANWR and other Alaskan Land Conservancies, to her carrying on of that work, she is a beacon to us all of what we can do.Buy it...read it. You will fall in love with Alaska and with Mardy.
This is perhaps the most inspiring and entertaining book I have read in years. Mardie Murie is to me the quintissential woman, a true feminist, and first female to graduate from the University of Alaska, who follows her own star while completely respecting the stars of others. Her prose is "luscious," intelligent, rich in imagry, and filled with honesty and joy. She writes about her life growing up in Alaska at the turn of the twentieth century, and how she transcends cold and harsh conditions to follow the love of her life, Dr. Murie, as he studies the caribou herds in Alaska's wilderness. She even finds breathtaking romance on this amazing life adventure, spreading her love of life and nature to everyone she encounters. I can't recommend this book enough!
Murie writes with exquisite detail describing the Alaskan wilderness. It was certainly easy to imagine what she was seeing. I did feel the book became a bit mired down with rhetoric and thus was a slower read. For those with a keen interest in Alaskan wilderness in the early part of the 1900's onward this would be one to spend time reading. She was an amazing and very courageous woman.
This book was recommended to me by a tour guide at Denali Park in Alaska. The story will remind you of the wild country and what it means to be strong, independent, and to fight for what you believe in. Oh yeah and PS: a great love story. I wish I could thank my tour guide for the recommendation!
