OglesbyThe Book was excellent; and I fully enjoyed it; brought you a more in depth look into the lives of Both Heimo and Edna; Their personal lives before and after they met and their lives and tragety they suffered together concerning their first daughter together after getting married. The Show on Discovery; The Last Alaskins give you an understanding of their lives out there and what they have to do to servive; and this book gives you more of an understand of everything that has gone on concerning the refuge; and what people that are still there are having to go though to stay and live there. If I was younger; I would of chose this lifestyle; and been more content with having less tan all this modern lifestyle or rules and regulations..to live free...
