The Wilderness of Denali, by Sheldon. Excellent read !! Out of print but you can still download an electronic copy Another lighter read, and more contemporary is: Pappa Was a Bush Pilot...by Sally McMahan Pollen Also several books by Connie Helmricks. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=connie++helmricks%2C+books

Wager With The Wind...Don Sheldon Story. James M Greiner previous Alaska Trappers Association magazine editor until his death. Great read.
The best part of the book is the account of rescuing members of a military exploratory team in a river boat that had capsized in the canyon of the Susitna River with his skills in a float plane!

If you're into an Alaskan hunting novel, check out "The Last Hunt".
Both "Alaska Wolf Man" and "Bush Rat Governor" were fantastic.
