Dan L. Walker presents Letters from Happy Valley, Memories of an Alaska Homesteader’s Son Fifty years after leaving the family homestead in Happy Valley, Alaska, Dan Walker unexpectedly received a shoe box full of letters penned in 1958 by his parents as they traveled from Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio, to build a new life on the Last Frontier. In Letters from Happy Valley, Memories of an Alaska Homesteader’s Son, Dan Walker rediscovers and honors his Alaska roots and the life lived before his father's untimely death, which instigated his family to move to Government Hill. “Emotional, unforced, and grounded, Letters from Happy Valley is destined to be an Alaska classic.”—Nick Jans, contributing editor to Alaska magazine and author of A Wolf Called Romeo “A literary triumph, Letters from Happy Valley demonstrates Walker’s unsurpassed ability to bring to bold life his family’s Alaska pioneering history in a manner both informative and riveting. It will be no surprise to me should this book become a beloved north land classic.” —Dan Seavey, author of The First Great Race: Alaska’s 1973 Iditarod Dan L. Walker has over thirty years in education and his consulting work has taken him throughout Alaska from Anchorage to Barrow and Perryville to Sitka where he works with principals, teachers, and students. He was named as Teacher of the Year for Alaska in 1999.
