Title: Excellent, unsentimental tale of subsistence in Alaska
Product review: Comparisons will be drawn between this book and Krakauer's excellent Into the Wild based on the common themes of living off the land and the unforgivingness of the Alaskan wilderness. Where Krakauer's book is a meditation on the romanticism and perils of self-reliance, The Final Frontiersman is an unsentimental and penetrating look at the physical, emotional and psychological challenges of making a living in this remote and and unforgiving environment.Heimo Korth, his wife and two daughters and the life they lead are fascinating. Campbell's well-constructed narrative makes exciting and evocative reading.If Chris McCandless, the subject of Krakauer's book, had had the chance to read this book, he might still be alive today.
