Currently the largest state in the United States by area and with a size roughly equal to 1/5 that of the continental United States, there are a lot of bragging rights inherent in the state of Alaska. It is also by far the most rugged and isolated state. There are many areas where the only real communication with the outside world is by bush plane.
This book is a collection of funny stories of events that took place in Alaska from the time it became a US possession in 1867. Most of the stories are from the gold rush days of 1896 and later. Moose dropping actually refers to people who pick up moose droppings and make decorative items from them. The early Alaskans were rough, bawdy, heavy drinkers and people that felt a need to party to pass the time during the brutal winters. Many of the current residents retain those characteristics. These short and amusing stories together tell their tale.

Short anecdotes from an Alaska that no longer exists and maybe never did. It feels geared for tourists.

Lame book collecting news snippets an jokes from around Alaska. Weakly compiled into categories. Not worth reading.
