A thrilling journey by canoe across Alaska, by critically acclaimed writer Adam Weymouth. The Yukon river is 2,000 miles long, the longest stretch of free-flowing river in the United States. In this riveting examination of one of the last wild places on earth, Adam Weymouth canoes along the river's length, from Canada's Yukon Territory, through Alaska, to the Bering Sea. The result is a book that shows how even the most remote wilderness is affected by the same forces reshaping the rest of the planet. Every summer, hundreds of thousands of king salmon migrate the distance of the Yukon to their spawning grounds, where they breed and die, in what is the longest salmon run in the world. For the communities that live along the river, salmon was once the lifeblood of the economy and local culture. But climate change and a globalized economy have fundamentally altered the balance between man and nature; the health and numbers of king salmon are in question, as is the fate of the communities that depend on them. Traveling along the Yukon as the salmon migrate, a four-month journey through untrammeled landscape, Adam Weymouth traces the fundamental interconnectedness of people and fish through searing and unforgettable portraits of the individuals he encounters. He offers a powerful, nuanced glimpse into indigenous cultures, and into our ever-complicated relationship with the natural world. Weaving in the rich history of salmon across time as well as the science behind their mysterious life cycle, Kings of the Yukon is extraordinary adventure and nature writing at its most urgent and poetic. "Kings of the Yukon succeeds as an adventure tale, a natural history and a work of art."-Wall Street Journal

This is a very interesting and a beautiful story about Adam's canoe trip all the way from Canadian side of Yukon River through Alaska, then to the Bering Sea. Along the way learn about the five species of salmons and their migration, wildlife, Oil pipeline, diseases, villages, towns, indigenous cultures, bridges/dams, climate changes, history of Alaska, and that water could take your life or it could save your life. You got to have respect for it. Also that the Alaska state flag was designed in 1927 by a 13 years old Alutiig boy name Bennie Benson in a statewide competition. The flag is dark blue background with eight yellow stars representing the Big Bear or Big Dipper along with the North Star (Polaris). Another interesting story was about the wolf is the doctor of all animals. The wolf chase the caribou or whatever animal and kills only the weak ones, they make them sweat to stay healthy. That the animals at Yellowstone Park were all half dead and they took some wolf in there and all the animal were happy again. Bring them back to where it should be, as told to Adam by a Native of Alaska. Love the story. To bad it had to end. Learn a lot of the King also known as the Chinook salmon, Yukon river, the wildlife and the state history of Alaska and it's people. Thank you to Adam Weymouth for traveling down the river with you through the book. It would be great for gifts.
