—The true story of the remarkable adventures of an American family who moved to Alaska and lived like pioneers.

As cheechakoe (Indian for Greenhorns), newly arrived settlers, a family settle in Alaska after World War II, resisting a fierce climate and the great brown bears. Hunting, trapping and fishing, they survive as successful settlers.

Much like a latter-day “Swiss Family Robinson” here, too, are presented some of the unforgettable people encountered in this last frontier, the fun of going to town once a year, the fantastic experience of an Alaskan mail boat in dead winter, and how a young bride came north to mark the beginning of a new generation. Wayne short tells not only the exciting story of how his family learned to cope with life in one of the wildest and most remote areas in America, but also how, working together, they came to love it and accept it as a home they would never leave.
