Frontier Mythology

University of Chicago Press

A new book by Judy Kleinfeld of Fairbanks explores a mythology  lived out in Alaska.  “The Frontier Romance” looks at why people head north to carve out an existence off the beaten track.  KUAC’s Dan Bross reports.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
