Alaskan adventure presentation Tuesday

Melissa Cook author of “The Call of the Last Frontier: The True Story of a Woman’s Twenty-Year Alaska Adventure,” will be presenting “Alaska” on March 22 at the Hot Springs County Library from 6-7:30 p.m. and will be selling and signing books after the show.  

Melissa Cook is a retired Alaska school teacher. In 1995, Cook and her young family moved to the tiny village of Nelson Lagoon on the Bering Sea coast and later to Prince of Wales Island in the Tongass National Forest, where they measured rain in feet. She discovered humor in unique situations found only in the Last Frontier.

Her true story captures the essence of bush life, intriguing neighbors, and life with multiple sclerosis. Historical tidbits are sprinkled throughout this riveting tale where adventure arrived on the Cook’s doorstep daily for twenty years in this world of few luxuries or conveniences. This tale is sure to delight Alaska and adventure fans.
