From book: Evelyn Berglund and her two sisters grew up in a cabin north of the Artic Circle. This is their story, the true story of a family who met danger and privation with courage and with an enormous zest. It is a book for all adventureres, armchair or actual, who mourn the vanished frontier. Much has been written about the problems of the adolescent but not about the problems these girles faced......What would you do if you came home one night and found a grizzly bear in one of the bunks? Or if a charging moose hit you square in the face with his cold, wet nose? Would you know how to handle a dogteam in deep snow or the best method of killing a trapped wolverine or building a salmon wheel? Evelyn and her sisters dealt with these problems and many others.
