From Mike's e-book:

That Darn Newspaper Headline

“The large words printed on the page screamed at Ed Williams so loud he couldn't ignore them. He was unable to look away. They grabbed at his mind like a mythical Greek Siren's wail and pulled him in. There it was in the 1897 edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper.

“GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! Sixty-Eight Rich Men on the Steamer Portland. STACKS OF YELLOW METAL!”

Gold Fever, Skagway and Soapy Smith is an adventure-filled short story that takes you to the gold strike, the rough town of Skagway, Alaska, and face-to-face with the notorious, Soapy Smith.

Are You Ready

for an Alaska Fishing Adventure?

When Mike was only 16, his dad got him a job on a purse seiner boat out of the picturesque town of Cordova, Alaska on Prince William Sound. Mike had no idea what a purse seiner was, but he was about to find out.

All over the world, people say, “I'd like to go commercial fishing in Alaska for the adventure and to make a lot of money.”

Yes, it's an incredible adventure, but the work is hard. It's very hard.

From Mike's story:

“Then the Skipper yelled “what are you doing? I told you to pull in the lead line!” Frustrated I swung around to look at the Skipper. When I did, the plunger pole slipped out of one hand and the end of the wooden pole struck him on the side of his head. Suddenly, I watched in terror as the Skipper's body shook in anger. He looked up at me with furious eyes and yelled “what?” At that moment, I shot back with “what do you want me to do? Man the plunger pole or the lead line?” The Skipper stood there still shaking for an angry moment and loudly growled “both!”

Climb onboard for an Alaska adventure.
