Denali- Literary Anthology

Denali - A Literary Anthology

Edited by Bill Sherwonit

Denali, "The High One," (Alaska's Mount McKinley) has beguiled storytellers since time immemorial. In this wide- ranging anthology spanning 101 years of published writings - representing both the northern classics and little-known gems - editor Bill Sherwont gives us a taste of rich literary legacy.

Explorers, mountaineers, naturalists, Native Alaskns, adventurers and homesteaders, the storytellers of Denali powerfully portray the wild spirit of The Mountain. They tell us of the landscape's dangers, its obstacles and abundant wildlife; and they share its allures, whether gold or high mountain summits, snow white sheep or wilderness solitude. In reading these stories, we also learn about the men and women who are drawn to this special place, who find hope, challenge, inspiration - and sometimes sorrow - in Denali and the braod shadow that it casts.
