Reviews
Rick BassAuthor of Winter, The Watch, and The Sky, the Stars, the WildernessThe Final Frontiersman is keen and elegant, radiating honesty and wonder in the manner of the landscape and inhabitants it describes. It is a compelling and powerful read., Brad WatsonAuthor of Last Days of the Dog-Men and The Heaven of MercuryFascinating. Few would elect the rough, frozen, minimalist (I suspect we don't know the real meaning of the word here below the Arctic Circle) life of the Korth family, but anyone who reads this book and doesn't feel a deep and abiding respect and even fondness for them is beyond the ken of this cheechako. James Campbell debunks the romantic myth of the frontiersman even as he shows us how undeniably tough, stubborn, and resourceful Heimo Korth and his family really are. With Korth as his guide, Campbell takes a hard look at the whole idea of the frontier, of American expansion, the very idea of 'wilderness' itself. This is a book of substance, and once you've read it you'll never forget these people or this place., David GessnerAuthor of Return of the OspreyJames Campbell guides us back into Krakauer country, but takes us deeper than Krakauer ever did. In fact, The Final Frontiersman makes all like books seem tame in comparison. In glittering, crisp prose, Campbell invites us into the life of Heimo Korth, a life at turns exhilarating and tragic, but always compelling. Sure to be a classic of the genre., Michael D'AntonioAuthor of Mosquito, Atomic Harvest, and the forthcoming The State Boys RebellionJames Campbell brings you into the wilderness, and into the heart of a family you will never forget. You cannot get any closer to the Alaskan frontier without risking frostbite.
