'Ray Tremblay's twenty-five years as a flying Game Warden back in Alaska's territorial days were predictably thrilling to say the least. Near misses and plane crashes, trapline patrols by air, search-and-rescue operations, arrests and confiscation of airplanes and other gear . . . and the occasional potshot from offenders. These daring stories shed light on what life was really like in the Last Frontier just before, during, and after Alaska joined the Union. Ray recounts the capture of the Blue Parka Bandit, the mysterious death of an old-timer who packed his riverboat then disappeared, the comical case of the dog who shot the hunter, and airsick biologists who rode along on the first aerial wildlife surveys. He recalls his favorite airplanes'a Gullwing Stinson and a Grumman Goose'and their many adventures together. He throws out hearsay and presents both sides of controversial subjects such as 1950s-style wolf control and Native Alaskan subsistence hunting during off-season.
