Peter Jennings moved to Seward, Alaska, for a year and a half to really understand what it means to live in the 49th state.  Just riding a bicycle down a hill was an adventure that recaptured the feelings of his youth.  The cool evenings and pleasant temperatures on a June day was a contrast to the heat of the Tennesee that he left behind.  A lynx, a mountain goat, caribou, and wolves were among the animals he saw.  He brings the same eye for wonderment that he shared in A Walk Across America to his discovery of Alaska's expanse.  The book contains 16 full-color pages of photographs, as well as black-and-white photos throughout the book.
