He also discusses the challenges he faced, such as harsh weather conditions, isolation, and the constant threat of danger from wild animals. Throughout the book, Lomen provides insights into the history and culture of Alaska, including the impact of the gold rush, the growth of the fishing industry, and the role of the government in the development of the state. He also shares personal anecdotes and stories about his family, friends, and colleagues, giving readers a glimpse into the daily life of a pioneer in Alaska.
