John McPhee looks at three principal segments of Alaska: a total wilderness, urban Alaska and life in the remote bush. Coming into the Country is McPhee’s own story, in which his travels enable him to acquaint the reader with lore and legends about the people—and animals—he encounters. McPhee covers the country, wondering why the first hardy settlers decided to venture this way, and what they’ve created now that they are here.
