Description
Arctic Homestead: A True Story of Survival and Courage in the Alaskan Wilds. In 1973, Norma Cobb and her family embarked on an ambitious journey to claim land under the Homestead Act. Their destination was north of Fairbanks, near the Arctic Circle, where they faced numerous challenges, including fierce winters, predatory animals, and hostile neighbors. The Cobbs' struggles were compounded by their inexperience with the harsh Alaskan environment. Despite these obstacles, Norma Cobb's love for her family and her own courage proved to be a powerful force in their survival. With determination and resilience, she helped her husband and children navigate the difficulties of pioneer life. Their story is one of remarkable endurance and devotion. This book tells the true story of the Cobbs' experiences on the Alaskan frontier, a testament to the strength and resourcefulness of its inhabitants.
