Alaska's Forgotten Trappers

Hunting, Survival, and Wilderness Life After the Gold Rush

They came north chasing gold. When the gold rush faded, some of them stayed-and built lives in one of the harshest wildernesses on earth.

Long before Alaska became the modern frontier we know today, a generation of hunters, trappers, prospectors, and wilderness pioneers learned to survive far beyond the reach of roads, towns, and modern conveniences. They traveled by dog sled and snowshoe, followed remote traplines, hunted for food, fished frozen rivers, built isolated cabins, and endured winters that could push temperatures far below zero.

Alaska's Forgotten Trappers takes you deep into this vanished world.

Discover how these determined men adapted when their dreams of striking it rich disappeared, how the fur trade shaped remote communities, why working dogs became essential to wilderness travel, and what it truly took to live for months at a time with little contact with the outside world.

Inside, you'll explore:

* The people who stayed behind after the great Gold Rush
